Travel Vaccinations
Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete a Travel Risk Assessment Form.
You can do this online using the form below or if you prefer a paper version you can ask our reception team in the practice.
Once you have completed the form the practice will:
- Tell you what vaccinations you will need to have.
- Ask you to book a travel appointment.
We advise you to plan well in advance, 8 weeks if possible, in order to organise a schedule to give time for vaccines to work and to ensure that you get an appointment as we cannot guarantee an appointment at short notice. Not all travel vaccinations are available on the NHS.

Nurse Review
The nurses will review your travel vaccination form and they will contact you on your preferred contact number provided on our clinical system.
You will be given an appointment with the travel nurse and this appointment may last up to 20 minutes. If a course of vaccines are required, you may need more than one appointment.

Travelling in Europe
Your rights & EU rules
If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.
As an EU national, you enjoy the right of free movement. This means you’re entitled to travel, work and live in another EU country. If you’re a citizen of a Schengen country – which is most EU countries – you’re also free to travel to other Schengen countries without the need for border checks.
As an EU national, you can also benefit from EU-wide passenger rights for travel into, out of or within the EU by air, rail, bus/coach or ship. You can travel with pets and other animals in the EU provided you comply with the rules (pet passports). There are EU limits on taking alcohol, tobacco or cash with you to another EU country. Each EU country can set its own limits or restrictions, so check before you go.
