Pre-travel consultation (NHS patients)

It is advisable to make an appointment to discuss you travel plans as far in advance as possible. Some vaccination schedules can take several weeks to complete and we suggest booking in a minimum of six weeks before you go. Ask the reception for a travel appointment and they will book a travel consultation with one of our practice nurses.

Consultation

During this initial consultation the nurse will:

discuss your travel plans
if necessary commence any vaccination courses

It is therefore very important that if possible you bring any vaccination records you possess to this consultation. If you are unsure of this you may need to ask your parents or check the records from your previous doctor. You should also, where possible, download the Cripps Health Centre Travel Questionnaire and bring the completed form with you to your appointment

The consultations are about far more than just what vaccinations you require, and will also cover other key areas that need to be considered to keep you healthy. You will also have the chance to buy key medical supplies such as anti malarial pills, mosquito nets and travel health packs.
