Do you need vaccinations?

Our Nurses can provide comprehensive travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

NHS consultations whilst overseas

For reasons of clinical safety and information security we are not allowed to carry out consultations with you if you are not physically present in the UK. This includes answering written or digital requests for medical advice, and we are also not able to issue repeat prescriptions.

If you travel abroad often, or will be taking a trip outside the UK which will last for more than a couple of weeks, please plan ahead and order prescriptions in plenty of time before you travel.  Please see the link below for prescription ordering information.

Prescriptions - Berrycroft Community Health Centre

If you become ill whilst abroad please seek local medical advice or contact the local British Embassy for assistance. If you receive treatment, please keep any written documentation and bring it home with you so that we can review it and put it in your medical record.
