It is important when you are Traveling abroad to ensure that you are immunised appropriately, including anti-malarial treatment if necessary. In order to ensure that you are given the best possible advice and the correct vaccinations for your destination we ask that you complete a 'pre-travel questionnaire'. You can do this 'on line' by clicking here and following the instructions (or telephone 0131 260 9227 where the receptionist will be happy to take your details and complete the form on your behalf). Once you have completed the form on-line please email to Travel Email with the subject "Travel".

On receipt of the form in the practice the Practice Nurse will review your medical records for previous immunisation history. She will then check on the specialised site for up-to-date recommendations for your destination(s). You should telephone the appointment line (0131 260 9226) 5 days after e-mailing your travel form and ask for a ‘first travel appointment’ with the Practice Nurse (explain the form was e-mailed through).

Please be aware that the whilst the Practice holds some vaccines on the premises and are administered fee of charge, other recommendations may be out with the NHS structure. These would attract a fee payable to the practice for administration plus a private prescription fee (max fee £57). The Pharmacy would also charge a fee for the actual vaccine(s) on the private prescription.
