Our nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

The following websites will give you additional travel advice

Travel advice is covered by the NHS; however some vaccinations and prescriptions are only available privately. Payment for non-NHS services must be made at the first travel appointment.
If you require a vaccination that we are unable to provide you will need to contact your nearest travel clinic.
There are two local MASTA clinics based at:
