Travel Health

Prepare for your journey with practical, personalised travel-health advice from our pharmacy team. We review your itinerary, discuss health risks, and advise on vaccinations and malaria prevention where appropriate.

About our travel-health service

Travel health is not one-size-fits-all. The advice you need depends on your destination, travel dates, activities, accommodation, previous vaccinations, medical history, and the length and purpose of your trip.

During a consultation, our trained pharmacy professional will discuss your plans and recommend next steps within their clinical scope. This may include vaccination advice, antimalarial advice, and practical measures to reduce travel-related health risks.

Book or contact us early. Some vaccines require multiple doses, and some treatments must start before departure.
