Travel risk assessment

Use this service to arrange travel vaccinations and get advice for your upcoming trip abroad.

To help the travel nurses to assess your needs, it is important that you fill out the travel form before your appointment.

It is important to do this as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as an appointment will be required with the practice nurse to receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

If you are travelling within less than 6 weeks then please be aware we may be unable to assist you and may have to refer you to a private clinic who can accommodate short notice requests.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

You can use this service if you:

  • are registered at the surgery

  • your first and last name, date of birth, sex, postcode, email and phone number
  • if applicable, the details of the person you are completing the form on behalf of
