Nurse Marion King is the Practice Lead for Travel Advice. You can use this website to submit details of your plans for travel. You should then contact the surgery a week later to find out what vaccinations/anti-malarial medications are advised, and to book your appointment with the Practice Nurse if needed.
Please make an appointment with one of our practice nurses at least eight weeks in advance of your holiday to ensure adequate cover. A charge will be made for certain immunisations/vaccinations not covered by the NHS; a list of charges is held at reception. We are also an authorised yellow fever vaccination centre.
