Information and advice for travelling abroad

Travel Vaccinations

If you are travelling abroad, you may require extra immunisations and injections. In order that we can organise to give you these, we need to know the full details of your travel plans. We therefore ask that you complete a travel questionnaire (this can also be collected from the surgery). Our qualified Practice Nurses will then decide what vaccinations and advice you will need and advise you to book an appointment. 

Please note that we need advance notice of your travel plans. Once you submit your questionnaire, you should allow up to 2 weeks for the nurse to assess your request. If you contact us less than 4 weeks before your planned travel date, we may have to redirect you to another travel service such as MASTA

A fee is payable for some vaccinations required for travel purposes. Details of these charges are available at the Surgery.

Fitness to Fly Letters

Airlines may ask patients to provide letters or medical certificates confirming that a person’s medical condition is currently stable and a patient is 'fit to fly', this often affects pregnant women. GPs are not specially trained in aviation medicine and not insured to certify whether patients are fit to fly. We also do not have direct access to the ante natal records of our pregnant patients. Unfortunately we are therefore unable to provide any such certification.

We understand that this decision may cause inconvenience to some of our patients however, our primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and well-being of all our patients and we believe this decision aligns with that responsibility. If your midwife is also unable to provide this service, you may wish to access your records via the NHS app and use this information to request certification via a private provider.
