Travel Medicine

Many travel destiations expose people to unfamiliar environments. These risks are easily managed providing you have up to date pre-departure health information, correct immunisations, and a travellers medical kit.

We aim to ensure that you are fully protected from communicable diseases during your travel so that your time away is both safe and enjoyable. Student travellers, business travellers or independent travellers will all need specific advice and vaccinations.

The surgery is able to provide Influenza, Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, Japanese Encephalitis, Cholera, Rabies and Meningitis vaccines. These are almost always in stock in the practice so there is no need for a visit to the Chemist to buy the vaccines. We also provide advice regarding your malaria risk in the places you intend to visit.
