The problem

Travel advice is only useful if it fits your trip.

A generic list of jabs is not a travel plan. What you actually need depends on where you are going, what you will be doing, how long you will stay and what you have already had. We build the plan around your itinerary, not a checklist.

  • Booked too late?

    Even a week before travel, some cover is possible. We tell you honestly what is worth doing.

  • Not sure what you need?

    We map your itinerary against TravelHealthPro guidance and existing records — no over-vaccinating.

  • Yellow-fever certificate?

    A regulated centre with the ICVP signed on the day. Valid 10 days later, for life.

One clinician from first message to plan — including reminders for any onward doses.

    Within one working day: recommended vs required vaccines, antimalarial options, altitude considerations and indicative pricing.

Typical end-to-end: under a week for a single visit. Courses: 3-6 months.

What we cover

Trips and travellers we consult on.

The traveller profiles we see most often — from short holidays to expeditions, pregnancy, immunosuppression and high-altitude trekking.

  • Short-trip travel prep

    Two-week holidays and city breaks — quick assessment with the essentials covered in a single visit.

  • Long-trip / expedition prep

    Multi-month trips, remote regions and expeditions — full risk assessment, courses and kit list.

  • Expat pre-departure

    Relocating abroad — occupational vaccines, records for schools and employers, and a family-level plan.

  • Pregnancy travel advice

    Trimester-safe recommendations, DVT prevention, and honest guidance on destinations to defer.

  • Immunosuppressed travellers

    Individual assessment where live vaccines are contraindicated — planned around your treatment.

  • Higher-altitude travel

    Acclimatisation planning for trekking above 2,500 m, plus acetazolamide prescribing where appropriate.

  • Backpacker essentials

    Budget-focused package covering the vaccines and tablets you cannot skip on a shoestring trip.

  • Red flag: post-travel fever

    Fever within 3 weeks of returning from a malaria zone — same-day GP or A&E, do not wait.

Appointment types

Not all travel consultations are the same.

What each option is designed for, from a short pre-trip chat to a corporate expat medical.

  • Travel consultation only

    Advice, risk assessment and a written plan — no vaccines given in this visit. Best if you already have records elsewhere.

  • + Antimalarials

    Consultation plus a private prescription for the antimalarial regimen matched to your itinerary, activities and medication list.

  • Full travel medical

    For complex, multi-country or long-duration trips — 60 minutes with vaccines given and prescriptions issued in the same visit.

  • Yellow fever centre visit

    A regulated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre with the ICVP signed and stamped on the day.

  • Corporate expat medical

    Pre-departure medical for employers relocating staff — half-day assessment with a written fit-for-post report.

  • Post-travel screening

    For returned travellers with symptoms — bloods, stool testing and specialist referral where indicated.

  • Higher-altitude consultation

    Focused on acclimatisation, warning signs of altitude sickness and prophylactic acetazolamide where suitable.

  • Pregnancy travel consultation

    Trimester-safe advice on destinations, vaccines, antimalarials and DVT prevention.

Safety and eligibility

Plan around the things that need planning.

Most travel-medicine problems come from timing, pregnancy, immunosuppression, drug interactions and altitude. We plan around all of them.

  • Book 4-6 weeks before travel

    Enough time for courses to complete and for live vaccines to take full effect before departure.

  • Yellow fever timing

    Yellow fever must be given at least 10 days before travel for the certificate to be valid on arrival.

  • Rabies is a 3-dose course

    Rabies pre-exposure is a three-dose course delivered over roughly three weeks — plan accordingly.

  • Pregnancy restrictions

    Pregnancy has specific vaccine restrictions — live vaccines (yellow fever, MMR, varicella) are generally avoided.

  • Immunosuppression

    Live vaccines are contraindicated in immunosuppression — we plan alternatives or defer.

  • Antimalarial interactions

    Certain antimalarials interact with SSRIs and some cardiac medications — bring a full medication list.

  • Altitude travel

    Travel above 2,500 m needs an anticipatory acclimatisation plan and, sometimes, prophylaxis.

  • DVT prevention for long flights

    Compression stockings, hydration and mobility advice for flights over four hours or higher-risk travellers.

  • Fit-notes and letters

    Written letters for pre-existing medication carried in hand luggage, and fit-to-fly notes where required.

Frequently asked

Everything we get asked about travel health consultations.

Quick answers on timing, yellow fever, antimalarials, pregnancy, insurance and post-travel red flags.

  • What does a travel health consultation cover?

    A destination-specific risk assessment, all recommended vaccines, a private prescription for antimalarials if needed, altitude and DVT advice, food and water rules, and a written travel plan — all in one 30-60 minute appointment.

  • When should I book?

    Ideally 4-6 weeks before travel. That leaves time for courses (rabies, hepatitis B) and for live vaccines like yellow fever to take effect. We can still help closer to departure — some cover is better than none.

  • Can you give me a yellow fever certificate?

    Yes. We are a NaTHNaC-registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, so we give the vaccine and issue the International Certificate of Vaccination on the day. It becomes valid 10 days after the vaccine and lasts for life.

  • Do you prescribe antimalarials?

    Yes. We assess your itinerary and any interactions with your existing medication, then issue a private prescription for the right regimen — doxycycline, atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone) or mefloquine — before you travel.

  • Is it safe to travel during pregnancy?

    Usually yes, with the right precautions. Inactivated vaccines like flu, COVID and pertussis are fine; live vaccines are generally avoided. Some destinations — particularly Zika and malaria zones — are best deferred until after pregnancy.

  • What if I have pre-existing conditions?

    Bring a full medication list and any specialist letters. We plan around immunosuppression, cardiac medication, SSRIs, diabetes and pregnancy — and provide a letter for carrying medication in hand luggage.

  • Can you write a travel insurance letter?

    Yes. We routinely provide letters confirming pre-existing medication for hand luggage, fit-to-fly notes, and vaccination records for insurance purposes — issued on the day.

  • How quickly can I get my vaccines?

    Most vaccines are given in the same visit as the consultation. For courses (rabies, hepatitis B) we schedule the doses at the start so the whole plan is booked upfront.

  • Do you see children?

    Yes. Children are seen in a paediatric-friendly clinic with age-appropriate doses, technique and reassurance. Family bookings are welcome.

  • When should I see a GP urgently after travel?

    Fever within three weeks of returning from a malaria-risk area is a red flag — go to a same-day GP or A&E, do not wait. Also: persistent diarrhoea, jaundice, or an unusual rash after the tropics.
