Advice For Travellers
Our Practice Nurses are fully trained to provide advice regarding immunisations for travelling abroad, malaria prophylaxis and general advice about keeping yourself healthy whilst travelling.
Initial information can be found here
For information, advice and to be seen (if appropriate), please complete a Travel Risk Assessment Form. Paper copies are also available at Reception.
After we have received your form, a Practice Nurse will be in touch with you, so please ensure that we have up-to-date contact information for you. Please allow 3 working days to receive this initial contact. You will not be able to book travel appointments or obtain travel advice via Reception.
If you are travelling to an area where vaccinations are recommended, we ideally need to see you 6-8 weeks before you travel to allow for a course of vaccinations to be completed and for the vaccinations to take effect.
We are only able to offer travel advice and appointments to patients registered with Observatory Medical Practice, if you are not a registered patient please contact your own Practice, or a pharmacy travel clinic.
What vaccinations are available at the practice
Four vaccinations are available on the NHS for travel which are Cholera, Typhoid, Polio and Hepatitis A
Any other vaccinations necessary will be provided by local private travel health clinics.
Travellers must allow sufficient time before travelling in case a course of vaccinations are necessary – usually for longer or complex trips.
