Comprehensive Consultation
Our specialist travel doctors and nurses consider the needs of each traveller individually. Consultation time is spent discussing risk factors involved in the patient's destination. Numerous factors can affect a traveller's vaccination requirements, including where they stay, what they eat, and their personal health status. All these components are fully investigated before vaccinations and medications are recommended.
Immunity Validation
If you have been vaccinated in the past, or previously suffered an infection which may have left you with residual immunity, we can refer particular tests to ascertain your immune status.
Documentation
Internationally recognised and World Health Organisation authorised documentation is available to give the patient a permanent and indisputable record of their vaccinations.

Post-Travel Investigations
Some travellers may be unfortunate enough to come into contact with an infectious agent despite their attention to precautions, and some infections are not readily apparent. If you are unwell on return from your travels, please phone to make an appointment to see our Doctor for a post-travel check-up, to investigate any possible risk of infection or symptoms of illness. Pathology testing for numerous conditions is available. Particularly, parasites such as those which cause malaria, schistosomiasis or leishmaniasis should be investigated, to ensure treatment can begin promptly if needed.
