Book Your Travel Health Appointment

​

When to book?

• For most trips, aim to book 6 weeks before travel; for longer trips or moving abroad aim to book 6-months pre travel. Most vaccines are single dose and should be given no later than 2 weeks before travel; some vaccines require 3 doses over 3-4 weeks, with last dose 2 weeks before travel.

​

Who is the appointment for?

• We cater for individuals, couples, groups & families

• Ideally, people travelling together should book together

• Smaller children may not need to attend in person but will be included in the consult

• The doctor does the travel health consultation first, where we agree on the vaccines and scheduling. Our nurses then book you in for vaccine visit(s)

• For those travelling soon, we try to facilitate urgent appointments.

​

Please complete the TRAVEL CONSULTATION FORM for each person attending the consultation. This will allow us to plan your appointment timings accordingly.
