• Tetanus
• Yellow Fever

If you require general advice on travel immunisation, please telephone the surgery and request a telephone call from the travel clinic nurse. If, however, you are travelling to more exotic locations, multi destinations or backpacking, we recommend that you contact MASTA on 09068 224100 or check out their website at www.masta-travel-health.com who provide an excellent service.

They can also deliver up-to-the-minute advice on which areas of the world require tablets for malaria protection and which type. Most can be bought over the counter from a chemist but some will require a private prescription from your GP (which will incur a charge per prescription per patient). (Note that the chemist will charge for the cost of the tablets and the dispensing cost.)

Any other medication solely requested for travel purposes, eg antibiotics in the case of traveller's diarrhoea, will also incur a private prescription charge. There are plenty of good sources of information available on the internet and we would recommend the following:
