Travel Health
Do you need vaccinations?
Our nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.
Select the region you are travelling to find out more.

Travel Vaccination Prices
Travel advice is covered by the NHS; however some vaccinations and prescriptions are only available privately. Payment for non-NHS services must be made at the first travel appointment.
Fitness to Travel/Fitness to Fly certificates
If you are advised to obtain a “Fitness to Travel” or "Fitness to Fly" letter from a GP, please be aware this will incur a charge as it is not a service covered under our contract with the NHS and so is classed as private work. The fee payable will be determined by what information the travel company/third party require, and whether a physical examination is necessary. We will be happy to confirm the fee that will be applied upon seeing the documentation. Please ensure you contact us as soon as possible after receiving the information request, as it may take time to arrange the completion of the paperwork and any necessary appointments/examinations.
Please be assured all charges are based on suggested fees from the British Medical Association (BMA).
