Travel Vaccinations

Non-urgent advice: Travel Vaccination (Update March 2022)

We are advised by NHSEI, BMA and RCGP that travel vaccinations remain a low clinical priority, set against the context of the wider pandemic NHS recovery, patient access, long term condition management and offering the Covid vaccination programme. However we recognise that they remain important to our patients, so we protect a proportion of nurse time to deliver these every month.

We will endeavour to do what we can, but given the wider demands on our time which are clinically urgent, you may be advised that the time window for your vaccinations is inconvenient for your travel plans. In this scenario if we have no availability to accommodate your needs, we will signpost you to local private travel providers, who may also be able to serve any additional needs.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, we have set Travel clinics that you would need to ask reception to book into for your travel vaccines.


Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe a very useful booklet has been published with advice and guidance to help you get the most out of your holiday. To visit please click: http://ec.europa.eu/publications/booklets/eu_glance/86/en.pdf (this is a large document and may take a minute or two to view).

Non NHS Services

Some services provided fall outside the scope of the NHS and therefore attract charges.

Examples include the following:

  • Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
  • Insurance claim forms
  • Shotgun & Firearms Licences
  • Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
  • Private sick notes
  • Vaccination certificates

Our reception staff will be happy to advise you about appointment availability and applicable charges.
