If you are planning a trip abroad, you can use the websites above for up-to-date travel advice for your destination. Then, you need to book an appointment with a nurse for your immunisations. Please remember to book a telephone appointment in advance of your travel date to ensure that you receive the correct advice and treatment that might be required.
Travel is a non-NHS service and unfortunately due to the current demand on our nursing appointments, we are unable to give a comprehensive travel service at short notice but will continue to provide the following travel vaccinations, which are available on the NHS for registered patients:
| Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio booster – protects patients for 10 years |
| Hepatitis A – protects patients for 25 years (after two doses) |
| Typhoid – protects patients for 3 years |
