Procedure for Travel Services

  1. Initial Contact and Inquiry
  • Travelers planning to go abroad should contact the clinic well in advance by completing the Admin Query Clinic form. (Please note that each traveller must complete their own Form.)
  • A minimum of 6–8 weeks' notice before departure is required to allow sufficient time for preparation and for vaccinations to take effect.
  1. Travel Risk Assessment
  • Upon receiving the inquiry, travelers may be asked to complete a Travel Risk Assessment Form to help our Travel Nurses assess their vaccination and health requirements.
  • The assessment will consider factors such as the destination, duration of stay, planned activities, and individual health conditions.
  1. Appointment Scheduling
  • Once the Travel Risk Assessment is reviewed, the clinic will schedule an appointment with a Travel Nurse.
  • The appointment will include a consultation and administration of necessary vaccinations.
  1. Vaccination Services
  • The clinic provides certain NHS-funded travel vaccinations free of charge, including:
    • Typhoid
    • Cholera
    • Hepatitis A
    • Diphtheria/Tetanus/Polio
  • Vaccinations not covered by the NHS, such as Yellow Fever and malaria prophylaxis, must be arranged privately through a local travel clinic.
  1. Follow-Up and Additional Advice
  • Travelers will receive guidance on post-vaccination care and any further health precautions they should take while abroad.
  • If booster doses or additional vaccinations are required, follow-up appointments will be scheduled accordingly.

For further details, travelers should consult a Travel Nurse or a private travel clinic for additional services not offered by the NHS.
