Are you planning to travel in the future, perhaps to visit friends and relatives or to return to the homeland of your origin?

Here is some very important advice for you:

• Research has shown that this type of travel puts you at greater risk of acquiring travel related infection such as enteric fever (including typhoid) and of malaria.
• It is important that you visit the surgery before you travel to seek advice and protection for your trip.
• It is essential that you try to book your appointment with Elisa Butland or Danielle Bell in advance of your departure date – about 6-8 weeks before you travel is ideal.  We ask you to try to remember this, as it is so important to get protected.
• Occasionally, you may have an urgent reason to travel that you have not foreseen, in these circumstances, we will do our best to help.  It is never too late to get some protection, even up to the day of your departure, so please seek advice.
