Travel Vaccinations
Travelling abroad can expose you to illnesses that are not common in the UK. Our practice offers a range of travel vaccinations to help keep you safe and healthy during your trip.
Booking a Travel Vaccination Appointment
To make sure you receive the right protection in time, please contact us at least 6–8 weeks before you travel. Some vaccines require multiple doses or take time to become fully effective.
A pre‑assessment is required before any travel vaccine can be given.
- A practice nurse will review your medical records and the information you provide in the pre‑assessment questionnaire.
- This ensures you receive the correct advice and immunisations for your destination.
- The pre‑assessment will only be carried out once the £35 fee per patient has been paid.
You can book a travel vaccination appointment by:
Submitting a request through our Digital Front Door
Calling the surgery during opening hours
Before your appointment, you may be asked to complete a short travel questionnaire. This helps our clinicians assess your needs based on your destination, length of stay, and planned activities. The form can be completed online via our Digital Front Door.
