Travel Health

Our Practice Nurses provide up to the minute information on immunisation and health for travellers.  Remember many vaccinations need to be given up to 6 – 8 weeks prior to travelling. Some vaccine is available free of charge, but there may be a charge for others, e.g. Hepatitis B, Yellow Fever, Rabies. Please read the Travel Advice Leaflet – this has some useful hints and tips for travellers.

Before making an appointment to see the Nurse please read the Travel Appointment Information and then download and complete the Travel Risk Assessment Form which you will need to email to stthomas@nhs.net or exwick@nhs.net before an appointment will be given. Once the nurse has reviewed your completed assessment you will be contacted by the surgery and offered an appointment.
