Travel Health

Cost-effective, personalised care

Our aim is to make your travel preparation easy, cost-effective, and tailored to your needs. It's important to get the right vaccinations and health advice before you go, including how to stay safe and healthy while you're away. We'll help you:

• Plan for a healthy and safe trip
• Get the right vaccines, medications, and advice for the right countries
• Manage complicated medical issues, families, school groups or business travel
• With any post-travel health needs or illnesses

Step 2: Complete a travel health questionnaire

At least 4–6 weeks prior to departure, download the Travel Health Questionnaire below. Complete it directly into the document and save a separate file for each person. Have your itinerary nearby to do this. 

Click the medical centre link above to email them all completed forms at least 3 days before you need your appointment. We will review your information ahead of your visit.

Step 3: Book your travel health appointment

We will contact you to book your travel appointment at the medical centre you selected. Appointments are normally 45 minutes. Depending on your needs, an appointment could be face-to-face or virtual. For pricing information, please talk directly with each medical centre.

Why book 4–6 weeks in advance?

We advise booking 4–6 weeks in advance because some vaccines require more than one dose, a week or two apart. This allows time for the vaccines to start working before you leave.
