Karen - Nurse Lead
Travel Medicine is a specialist clinic so please ensure you:
Complete our travel questionnaire and provide this to our clinic so we can co-ordinate your booking with a Travel Clinician
Allow enough time before your trip to complete your Travel Consult and receive your vaccines, we recommend getting in touch with us at least a month before your departure date.
Fees will vary depending on the number of travellers in your family and the vaccinations you require – please enquire with our administration team when booking your consult.
Please note that if you cancel within 2 working days of your appointment you will be charged a fee to cover the clinicians time spent on preparing for your travel consult.
Travel Questionnaire
Each traveller will need to complete our travel questionnaire and return it to us prior to booking your consult with the travel clinician. Once your travel questionnaire has been received we will proceed with booking your travel consultation. This is so the travel clinician can review your travel plans and customise the consult to the destinations you are travelling to.
As some vaccinations require a course to be given over a period it is best that you book your travel consult a couple of months prior to leaving on your trip.
Our Nurses aim to administer your travel vaccinations on the same day as your travel consult, however if you require a specialist travel vaccine we may have to order this in and rebook you once the vaccine has arrived. Please allow at least an additional 30 minutes for your vaccine appointment as you will need to wait 20 minutes post vaccination.
