Travel Clinic

Due to unprecedented demand and annual leave, we have no travel appointments available during August or early September.

Your request will be reviewed and followed up with you, by the Travel Nurse in September. If you are travelling before November, we strongly suggest you seek alternate arrangements for vaccination. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to recommend another service but a search on the World Wide Web should provide details of any pharmacies or vaccine centres nearby.

Please note this service is only available to to registered patients at Drayton Medical Practice.

Our specialised nurse runs weekly clinics offering travel advice and the necessary immunisations. Travellers should try to enquire at least 6 weeks prior to departure. Due to high demand, we may not be able to offer a timely appointment. During peak times, you may be advised to look elsewhere for travel and vaccination advice and immunisation.

All patients need to complete the Travel Advice form below. This means one for every child or adult who are travelling. Once the forms are submitted and have been reviewed by our Travel Nurse. You will be contacted with an appointment.

The surgery is able to offer the Yellow Fever vaccination at an additional cost. There may be some additional costs for some other vaccines and prescriptions.
