Travel Advice

Foreign travel

You may need some vaccinations before you travel; you can complete and submit the travel form online (below) or pop into the Surgery to collect one if you prefer to complete a paper version (to complete and return to reception).

The Practice Nurse will review all of the information contained and then contact you to discuss your requirements further or request you make a face to face appointment.

We ask that all travel forms are submitted 8 weeks before you travel, in order that you can plan your vaccines accordingly.

Many vaccines need to be given at least 2 weeks before you travel and  some courses of vaccines will take longer so they need to organised well  in advance.

The Practice Nurse will give you a travel leaflet which will contain information and contacts you may need to book an appointment with a specialist travel clinic in the case that you require non-NHS vaccinations.
