Please be aware that it is your responsibility to obtain visas and to make sure you have a passport with at least 6 months validity on it.

For information on UK Passports please visit the UK passport agency website.

General Health Information for Travellers

We strongly encourage travellers to discuss their travel plans with their GP, practice nurse or private travel clinic. It is during this discussion that hazards specific to your destination can be identified, and advice on avoiding them can be given.

Why do I need to go for pre travel health advice?

A pre travel consultation does not just involve injections. In fact the majority of hazards faced by travellers abroad are not prevented by vaccines. The pre travel consultation will identify these hazards and provide you with the opportunity to discuss how these risks can be reduced. Examples include:

  • Traveller's Diarrhoea
  • Food and Water Hygiene
  • Insect bite avoidance
  • Traveller's thrombosis (DVT)
  • Travel Insurance

The benefits of a pre- travel consultation are:

  • Up to date verbal and written advice on a range of travel health issues
  • Information about recent disease outbreaks
  • Travel health vaccinations, malaria tablets and other medications

Which travellers should go for a pre travel consultation?

Anyone planning a trip outside of Western Europe, the States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, should discuss their travel plans with a health professional. Generally the risk of infectious disease is greater in resource poor countries; however certain advice will be applicable to all travellers regardless of their destination. For example travellers to Mediterranean resorts should still protect themselves against insect bites, the damaging rays of the sun, and avoid risky behaviour.

There are certain travellers in whom a pre- travel consultation is particularly important, these include:

  • Babies and young children
  • The elderly
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Those with pre-existing medical conditions

Travel advice for these individuals should be specifically tailored to their needs.

How long before I travel should I seek advice?

As a general rule, 6-8 weeks prior to travel will give ample time for all necessary vaccines to be completed.

For those planning longer trips into remote areas, courses of vaccines may be recommended which can take several weeks to complete.

It is still worth seeking health advice even at the last minute, as there are some vaccines that can be given at short notice, it is always worth taking malaria tablets for last minute travel, and travellers will benefit from the preventative advice.

For more advice, please contact your GP, practice nurse or travel health clinic.
