Travel Vaccinations

We no longer provide travel clinic advice for patients.

If you are traveling abroad and wish advice regarding vaccinations, your local pharmacy or a travel clinic may be able to assist.  Should they advise that you require a vaccination which is covered by the NHS, then please make an appointment with our Practice Nurse for this - please ensure that you have a note of their advice including timescales for administration.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe a very useful booklet has been published with advice and guidance to help you get the most out of your holiday. To visit please click:- http://ec.europa.eu/publications/booklets/eu_glance/86/en.pdf (this is a large document and may take a minute or two to view)

Non-NHS Services

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
• Insurance claim forms
• Private prescriptions
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes
• Vaccination certificates

Details of the fees / charges which apply to the above are displayed in our waiting area / Reception.

Please note:  most insurance companies will require a medical report for any claim that is made in relation to the applicant's health (this can include claims related to travel and employment policies as well as many others).  Reports such as these are not covered by the NHS and so are classified as private work for which a fee is charged based on the length and complexity of the report as specified by the insurance company. We would advise anyone taking out an insurance policy to first check as to whether it is the insurance company or the patient who is required to cover the cost and to bear this in mind when comparing prices of different policies.
