Planning a trip? We’re now your one-stop for travel vaccinations — NHS-funded and paid-for options, all delivered by our own Practice Nursing Team.
Our travel-risk assessment is always free for patients regardless of what vaccinations are required.
What’s changed
Until recently, we only offered NHS-funded travel vaccines and asked you to go to a private travel clinic for the rest. That’s no longer the case — we now offer most common travel vaccines in-house.
Why have your travel vaccines with us?
Because we already know you. Your medical history, allergies, current medications, and previous vaccinations are already on your file, so the assessment is quicker and safer. Every vaccine you have goes straight onto your NHS medical record. You will be looked after by the same nursing team who look after the rest of your care.
How it works
- Check the country pages on TravelHealthPro (formerly nathnac.net) for the destination(s) you’re travelling to — this tells you which vaccines are recommended.
- Complete a Pre-Travel Assessment Form for each person travelling, using our Admin Query Patient Triage Form on AccuRx. Please do this as soon as you know your travel dates, and no later than 6 weeks before you fly.
- One of our experienced practice nurses will carry out the travel-risk assessment.
- The nurse will advise which vaccines are recommended for your trip, separating NHS-funded and paid-for.
- If there are NHS-funded vaccines required, an appointment will be arranged for you.
- If any paid-for vaccines are also required, we’ll let you know the cost and confirm you’re happy to go ahead before booking anything.
- You will then receive an invoice with a secure card-payment link. Alternatively, you can pay in person at the practice.
- Your vaccine appointment is booked once payment is received.

Timing — please read this carefully
- Please contact us at least 6 weeks before you travel. This gives enough time for us to assess, order stock, and administer any multi-dose courses.
- Vaccines must be given at least 2 weeks before travel for your body to build protection.
- We do not offer last-minute travel appointments. If you’ve left it late, a specialist travel clinic may be able to help, and we will redirect you if this is more appropriate.
What we can’t do
We’re not able to undertake travel assessments for complex trips — those over 4 weeks in duration, multi-destination itineraries, or trips including high-risk activities that may present an increased risk to health. For these, please contact a specialist Travel Clinic for a full assessment. If NHS-funded vaccinations are then recommended, we can arrange those at the practice subject to appointment availability.
Any questions?
If you’re unsure whether your trip fits our service, complete the Pre-Travel Assessment Form and our nurses will be in touch — it’s better to ask early than leave it too late.
