We understand how exciting travel can be and how important it is that you are well prepared and properly immunised prior to starting your holiday.
Our doctors can provide comprehensive travel consultations and can advise you on what travel vaccines and other vaccinations are required for all destinations. It is a one-stop shop for all travel vaccination and medication requirements.
We offer tailored health advice and vaccination status updates for travellers to ensure they are well-prepared for their journeys. Whatever your destination, we can assist in preparing you for your safe and healthy travel and ensuring your travel health is well managed by providing the most up-to-date international health advice and medical services.
Please ensure that you make an appointment with your doctor well in advance as some vaccinations are required to be given over a specific time frame (e.g. 3 or 6 months) and completed in a certain time frame before departure.
