Travel Immunisations

We provide a travel vaccination service for our patients. Travel clinic appointments are available throughout the week.

Please book an appointment with the practice nurse at least 8 weeks before travel. When you make the appointment, please state that it is for a travel consultation.

Please complete a travel questionnaire and complete it before you come to the appointment.

If you do not know the dates of your previous immunisations do not worry - the nurse will go through it with you. Please do fill in the rest of the questionnaire.

The following websites give advice as to which vaccinations you may require:

fitfortravel is a public access website provided by the NHS (Scotland). It gives free and comprehensive travel health information for people travelling abroad from the UK. The website is compiled and updated by a team of experts from the Travel Medicine Division at Health Protection Scotland (HPS).
