Travel Vaccinations and advice

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. 

Travel Risk Assessment

Please complete and return our Travel Risk Assessment Form at least 8 weeks before you are due to travel. If you require vaccines, you will need an appointment with our Practice Nurse at least 4 to 6 weeks before you go. This gives us time to review your medical records, check that your UK vaccinations are up-to-date and arrange malaria tablets, should these be necessary.

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

• Travel Health Pro
• NHS fit for Travel

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.
