Travel Clinic and advice
We offer a comprehensive vaccination and advice service to our registered patients,which covers worldwide travel to the well known parts of the Earth but also the more remote corners of the globe.
If you are planning a holiday abroad you will need to complete a travel questionnaire and once the practice has received the completed form you can make a travel appointment with the nurse. This must be done 6-8 weeks prior to your departure as more than one course of vaccinations may be required for full immunity.
We do not normally offer travel clinic appointments, or travel injections, (except yellow fever) for patients not permanently registered with us. If you are a student studying away from Sheffield, but returning home in the vacations, then you must see the University Doctor in the town you are studying and are registered with, as we do not have your medical records to enable the Nurses to make an appropriate decision on vaccinations.
How to obtain a travel appointment at the Practice:
- Complete the travel questionnaire by clicking here
- Bring the completed travel questionnaire to the Surgery and hand it in to reception, or if you haven't downloaded the form ask at Reception for a form and complete it there and then!
- The receptionist will make you your first travel appointment with the nurse - the length of the appointment will be determined by the number of countries to be visited or the duration and type of trip
- The Practice Nurse will discuss which vaccinations are required, and any specific country advice required, at the time of the first appointment.
- At the first appointment you will receive any advice leaflets that are required. You will also be given website addresses to find further general advice.
- Any further appointments for vaccinations will be made at the first appointment by the Nurse before you leave.
- Payment for any vaccinations must be made in full at the time of the first visit. We only accept cash or cheque.
- The general travel advice leaflet is available here.
