FAQ
Common questions about travel health
How far ahead should I book?
Ideally 4-6 weeks before travel, as some vaccines need time to work and malaria tablets are often started before you go. We can still help with shorter notice.
Can you prescribe malaria tablets?
Yes, where appropriate for your destination and health. We advise on the right option and when to start and stop them.
Do you give travel vaccinations?
We provide the advice on what you need and prescribe travel medication, and signpost you to accredited travel clinics or pharmacies for the vaccinations themselves.
Can I travel with my condition and medication?
Usually yes, with planning. We can advise on carrying medication, time zones, and a travel letter where helpful.
