Travel Clinic
GP's do not deal with travel immunisations and antimalarial medication- you will need to see the practice nurse. Please tell the receptionist when you book the appointment that it is for travel advice/medication.
For “gap year” or “backpacking” trips you need to come at least 8 weeks before you travel; for more standard holidays 2 weeks before travel is usually sufficient. As these are usually longer appointments and can get booked up, please remember to book in plenty of time
| Tetanus, diphtheria, polio, hepatitis A, hepatitis B & typhoid: | no charge |
|---|---|
| Yellow fever: | we are a yellow fever centre and will issue a certificate. The vaccine costs £60. |
| Malaria tablets: | these are issued on a private prescription (you will have to pay for them at the pharmacy) |
We do not stock certain vaccines (eg rabies, Japanese B encephalitis), but if these are required we can recommend where you can get them.
