travel advice

It is essential that you receive the correct health advice when you travel abroad. Such advice can change quite frequently depending on the seasons and disease outbreaks. All of our Practice Nurses are trained and updated to provide that advice. In addition we have shown some ‘well respected’ websites’ which also offer some advice. Because these sites are independent the surgery cannot vouch for their accuracy, however the more advice you can get before making a trip the better. Some suggested sites are:

www.bbc.co.uk/health/travel

www.travelhealthzone.com

www.doh.gov.uk

It may be that you will require some vaccinations before you travel – It is important to note that some vaccines can be given under the NHS but others we can provide under a private vaccination arrangement. Cost and charges are shown below.

Travel Vaccinations

If you are travelling abroad and require travel vaccinations, our nurses are keen for you to complete a ‘Travel Schedule’. They will work out what vaccinations you will need for your trip and an itinery for when you will need to come in. To obtain a ‘Travel Schedule’ you can either -

  • Drop into the surgery and collect one from reception
  • Email a request on info.ghs@nhs.net
  • Download the schedule from this website and either email it back to us or drop it into the surgery.

PLEASE NOTE: Please allow 48hrs for our nurses to complete the schedule and then contact us on Malmesbury 825825 for the information.
