Travel Clinics and non NHS Vaccinations

Most travel requires either compulsory vaccinations or those that are recommended, and once again we are initiating designated travel clinics, for advice and immunisation, and these will be held on a weekly basis on a Thursday afternoon commencing on 15th January 09.

Our travel health trained nurses, Debbie and Jane, will assist and advise you. The initial appointment will be 20 minutes and a preparatory Travel Risk Assessment Form should be completed, preferably in advance. These are available at the surgery reception.

There is a charge for those items which are not part of the NHS national programme.

The following tariff will apply from 1st January 09, which is line with recommendations from the profession and in line with local surgeries.
