Travel Health Consultation Services
Our travel health consultations provide destination-specific guidance to help you prepare for your journey and manage potential health concerns while abroad.
Travel Vaccination Advice and Assessment
Vaccination recommendations depend on where you are travelling, how long you will stay, the activities you plan to undertake and your existing vaccination history.
During your consultation, the doctor can assess your itinerary and discuss relevant travel vaccine recommendations. You can also receive guidance on whether additional medical assessment or vaccination services may be needed before departure.
Your travel vaccine assessment may cover:
- Vaccination considerations for your destination
- Review of your travel plans and health history
- Advice on recommended travel vaccines
- Guidance on arranging vaccinations where required
The consultation provides an assessment and advice. Vaccine administration and any required vaccines may involve separate services and costs.
Malaria Prevention Advice for Travellers
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease found in certain parts of the world. The level of risk varies according to your destination, travel dates and planned activities.
Our travel health consultation can help you understand whether malaria prevention measures or prescription medication may be appropriate for your trip.
Advice may include:
- Destination-specific malaria risk guidance
- Discussion of malaria prevention options
- Advice on insect bite prevention
- Prescription of malaria prophylaxis where clinically appropriate
Not every destination requires malaria medication. The doctor will consider your travel plans and medical history before discussing suitable options.
Travel Medication and Existing Health Conditions
Travelling with a long-term medical condition may require additional planning, particularly when crossing time zones or visiting destinations with limited access to healthcare.
A travel health consultation can help you prepare for managing your existing condition while away from home.
You can discuss:
- Taking regular medication abroad
- Medication storage and travel considerations
- Managing chronic health conditions during a trip
- Health precautions relevant to your destination
- Whether additional medical advice is needed before departure
Bring details of your current medicines and relevant medical history to help the doctor provide appropriate guidance.
Travel Allergies and Anaphylaxis Advice
People with allergies may need to plan carefully before travelling, especially when visiting unfamiliar destinations or eating different foods.
Our consultation can cover travel-related allergy concerns and guidance for people at risk of anaphylaxis. The doctor can discuss relevant precautions and whether your existing allergy management plan needs review.
If you have a prescribed adrenaline auto-injector or other allergy medication, discuss how to prepare for your journey and manage your condition while abroad.
Fit-to-Fly Advice and Travel Health Documentation
Some travellers need medical guidance before flying, particularly if they have an existing health condition or recent medical concerns.
A consultation can address fit-to-fly questions and explain whether further assessment or supporting documentation may be required.
The advice depends on your health, the nature of your trip and any relevant airline requirements. A fit-to-fly assessment does not automatically guarantee medical clearance or acceptance by an airline.
If you have an existing medical condition or other health concerns before travelling, explore our GP Consultations service.
