Advice on travelling abroad

21/11/2003

Travel Clinic Appointments From January 2010:


We are trying to improve the clinics we provide for travellers. We aim to create more clinic appointments, allowing us to see more people and hopefully avoid long delays in being seen. To achieve this without having an impact on our commitment to providing core NHS nursing care we need people to obtain a 'Travel Health Brief' prior to your appointment. This travel pack provides information on what injections may be needed for the countries you are travelling to plus health and travel advice.

For more information and details how to obtain a Travel Health Brief please click here to read our Information Leaflet

Please note:

We are unable to provide vaccinations without a copy of the Travel Health Brief

If you are not a registered patient or have had any private vaccinations please bring details of previous vaccinations with you to the appointment.

Only one Travel health Brief is needed per trip - e.g. for a family holiday one brief will cover everyone.

We are unable to provide immunisations for Occupational Health (e
xcepting RNLI)

The majority of vaccinations needed for travelling will be covered under the NHS and therefore free. However some do not fall into this category  - these must be paid for when you attend the clinic.  Click here for Charges for Travel Vaccinations.

The Travel Health Brief can be obtained from MASTA:

Online at www.masta-travel-health.com
You can print the Travel Health Brief. It costs £3.99.

Over the phone on 0906 550 1402
