We run regular travel advice and vaccination clinics for
patients who are planning to travel abroad.
We are also a yellow fever vaccination centre, and we will see
both our own patients and those who are not registered with us.
Patients who are not registered with us will need to complete a
travel form, and bring or send the completed form to us BEFORE
their first appointment.
Travel forms are available from reception, or you can view and
print one

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many appointments will I need?
The first appointment for a particular trip will last 20
minutes. You may need subsequent appointments, depending on
your itinerary and vaccination requirements for the trip.
When are travel appointments available?
Please contact reception to find out when appointments are
available. Most appointments can be booked at a time to suit
you, including first thing in the morning and late
afternoon/evening.
How far ahead of any trip should I make the first
appointment?
As soon as possible - ideally when you book your annual
leave time off from work. We can do appointments close to
the departure date, but under these circumstances there may
not be time enough for any vaccinations to take effect.
How long will each appointment last?
The first appointment for any one trip will last 20 minutes.
Each subsequent appointment should only take 10 minutes.
Will I have to pay for any of the vaccinations?
Most vaccines are available to registered NHS patients
without charge, but some specialist vaccines will incur a
charge. Full details are available on our pricing schedule -
click HERE to see it.
What payment forms are accepted?
Cash, cheque or credit card
I am not registered with the practice. Are there any
special instructions for me?
You will need a 20-minute initial appointment and you will
be registered as a private patient. You will need to arrive
10 minutes prior to your appointment so that we can register
you. We will make a charge for the initial consultation (see
our pricing schedule). If you wish to have other vaccines,
we can provide them but you will be charged for each vaccine
given.
Where can I find out more about what vaccinations I might
need?
