Whether you’re travelling for business, a family holiday or visiting friends and relatives abroad, it’s important to prepare for your trip and protect your health.
At Local GP, we provide travel health advice, travel risk assessments and a comprehensive range of NHS and private travel vaccinations to help you stay well while you’re away.
We recommend contacting us at least 6–8 weeks before you travel, as some vaccines require more than one dose or need time to become effective. However, if you’re travelling at short notice, please still get in touch—we may still be able to help.
Our clinical team provides:
Some travel vaccinations are available free of charge on the NHS, while others are provided privately and may incur a fee. We will always discuss any costs with you before your appointment.
Please note: We do not provide Yellow Fever vaccinations. If your travel itinerary requires a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate, we will advise you how to access your nearest accredited Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
When you request travel advice, please include:
Your destination(s)
Your departure and return dates
The purpose of your trip (for example, holiday, business or visiting friends and relatives)
The type of travel and accommodation
Any previous travel vaccinations, if known
