Health Advice for Travelling Abroad


travel photos
Travelling abroad always brings some risk to health but by taking certain precautions you can minimise your exposure to most of the major health hazards.
We offer a full travel clinic service including advice and immunisations.
If you are planning to travel around the place allow plenty of time for vaccinations (6-8 weeks prior to travel). Request a travel form at the desk (or used the on-line Travel Questionnaire) and your vaccination registation wil be checked using the Traveller software prior to your appointment with a member of the nursing staff.
