Our Travel Health Advisors are specially trained doctors and nurses and we ask our customers to have a consultation prior to any vaccinations or treatments to ensure that you are fit and well to travel and to receive any of the vaccinations or treatments the advisor recommends. Your Travel Health Advisor will take your proposed travel itinerary and your personal medical history into account when making recommendations to you.
On arrival for your appointment
• Please be on time for your appointment as the clinic is busy and we aim to see people at their appointment times.
• Bring a record of any vaccinations previously administered and a record of any medication you are currently taking.
• You will be asked to complete a Travel Health Medical Questionnaire (this will include the name and address of your GP).
During your consultation
• Your Travel Health Advisor will undertake a risk assessment based on your itinerary, any underlying medical condition and your previous vaccination history.
• You will be provided with advice and recommended treatments for your trip (vaccinations, blood tests or malaria prophylaxis).
• All vaccines and malaria treatments are in stock and can be administered immediately (you do not need to make a further appointment).
