This Specialist Travel Clinic is run by medical and nursing staff who have been specifically trained in travel medicine. It offers a full range of travel vaccinations and aims to provide a one stop service. Travel assessment/risk analysis and then vaccination can occur in the same appointment.
The current cost of a full travel assessment is £20 (with a £5 fee for each additional family or group member).
Our GP Practice ONLY provides NHS travel vaccinations. If you require any vaccinations which are available on the NHS the specialist travel clinic will advise you. You will be given the opportunity of having these free of charge at our surgery. In this instance you will be issued with a prescription for the vaccines and should make an appointment for the Practice Nurse to administer these.
