Travel Advice
Advice for travellers is given by the Practice Nurses, particularly for those travelling far afield. All travel immunisations can be given - if possible do allow plenty of time before travelling to start your course of immunisations. In some cases the full cost of the course of immunisations has to be borne by the patient; with others the patient pays the cost of the prescription. The Practice Nurses will be able to advise you regarding these charges.
