Minor Surgery

Travel Clinic

Our specially trained Practice Nurses provide advice, immunisations and a travel care plan to patients travelling abroad. As you may require a course of vaccinations, it is important that you make contact with the practice well in advance of your expected date of travel. You will be given a telephone consultation with the Practice Nurse when details of your travel plans will be discussed. The nurse will advise you of any travel vaccines required, and arrange a Travel Clinic appointment thereafter.

The practice is a registered Yellow Fever Centre.
