To allow us time to undertake a travel assessment for the recommended NHS vaccinations, book an appointment and allow time for the vaccination to take effect (some vaccinations may require a course over several weeks), please contact us on 01323 502200 at least 6 weeks before departure to obtain and submit your travel questionnaire.
If your departure date is within 6 weeks, unfortunately, we will not have enough time to provide travel vaccinations and you would need to contact a private travel clinic. A list of any vaccinations you have received is available on the NHS app, or alternatively you can attend the surgery to complete a form to request your vaccination history. Please bring ID with you when you attend.
Further information can be found here.

We are unable to issue letters or certificates stating that a patient is ‘fit to fly’. Assessing whether an individual is fit to travel by air falls outside the scope of General Practice and may involve specialist assessment of the clinical risks associated with air travel.
The British Medical Association (BMA) advises that there is no statutory requirement for GPs to complete airline Fit to Fly forms or provide Fit to Fly certificates.
Where your request relates to a specialist medical condition, your hospital team may be better placed to provide the clinical information required by your airline. Pregnant women may be able to obtain the necessary documentation from their midwife or maternity team.
We recommend that you contact your airline and airport well in advance of travel to establish exactly what information or documentation is required. Please do not leave this until the last minute.
