Travelling is an exciting adventure, but it can also expose you to various health risks, especially when visiting countries with different climates, food and diseases. To ensure your trip is safe and enjoyable, it’s important to be well-prepared. That’s where our travel clinic services come in. By offering specialised travel vaccines and advice tailored to your destination, we help keep you safe and healthy during your travels.
Why Are Travel Vaccines Important?
When you travel abroad, you may encounter diseases that are not common in the UK. These can range from mild illnesses to severe, life-threatening conditions. Vaccination for travel is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from these diseases.
For example, if you’re travelling to a region where malaria is prevalent, you may need medication to prevent infection. Similarly, countries in Asia, Africa and South America often require vaccines for diseases like yellow fever, typhoid and hepatitis. By visiting our travel vaccine clinic before your trip, you can ensure you’re protected against these and other diseases.

How to Prepare for Your Visit to Our Travel Clinic
To make the most of your visit to our travel vaccination clinic, it’s essential to prepare in advance. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Plan Ahead: Ideally, you should visit the clinic 6–8 weeks before your departure date. This allows enough time for the vaccines to take effect and ensures you’re fully protected before you leave.
- Bring Your Travel Itinerary: Having details of your travel plans, including destinations and duration of stay, will help our experts provide the most accurate advice.
- Know Your Medical History: Inform the clinic staff of any pre-existing health conditions, allergies or previous vaccinations. This information is important for determining which vaccines are safe for you.
- Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have about the vaccines or your trip. Our team is here to provide you with all the information you need to feel confident about your health while travelling.
