About our travel health service

Good travel health starts weeks before you fly. Our travel consultations cover antimalarial tablets matched to your destination and itinerary, treatments to prevent motion sickness and ease jet lag, and general advice on staying well abroad. Because the right antimalarial depends on where you're going, how long you're staying and your medical history, the questionnaire asks for those details so the pharmacist can prescribe a course that fits your trip rather than a one-size-fits-all option.

Travel vaccinations are given in person at our Nottingham clinic, and it's worth booking six to eight weeks before departure so that courses needing more than one dose can be completed in time. Order anything time-critical early: most antimalarial courses need to begin before you travel, and delivery is by tracked post to a UK address rather than to your destination.

It also helps to think beyond medicines. Check the entry requirements for each country on your route, including proof of any vaccinations, and pack enough of your regular prescription medicines for the whole trip plus a few days' margin, kept in their original packaging. If you have a long-term condition, tell the pharmacist during your consultation so any interaction between your usual medicines and a travel treatment can be checked before you go.
