We offer a travel advice and immunisation service. If you are travelling abroad, please complete and submit the travel form in plenty of time (we recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey. Also, contact our Reception to book a 20 minute appointment with the Nurse to discuss and administer any vaccinations required. This is usually administered 6 weeks prior to travel. Please be advised that each member of the family will require their own individual 20 minute appointment with the Nurse.
