Destination planning

A health plan shaped around your actual journey.

Country lists are a useful start. A proper travel-health review also considers where you will stay, what you will do, when you leave and your individual health risks.

A travel-health consultation does not guarantee a vaccination, prescription, certificate or medicine. Please do not email medical details.

The details that change the plan.

Safe travel-health advice joins current destination information with the person, timing and activities behind the journey.

01

Every destination and transit

Include stopovers, border crossings, cruises and rural travel. A short transit or side trip can change vaccine or certificate advice.

02

How you will travel

Length of stay, season, accommodation, food, altitude, animals, freshwater and access to medical care all affect risk.

03

Your medical context

Age, pregnancy, immunity, allergies, medicines and long-term conditions can change what is recommended or suitable.

Clinical review

One journey, assessed properly.

Advice is updated for the itinerary and then filtered through your health history, previous protection and the time left before departure.

Destination guidance informs the decision. It does not replace an individual assessment.

01

Country guidance

The review uses current TravelHealthPro country advice and GOV.UK entry, safety and health information.

02

Routine protection

Your UK vaccination history is checked because routine vaccines, including MMR, are part of safer travel.

03

Travel-specific risks

The clinician considers vaccines, malaria, insect bites, food and water, altitude, heat, animals and activities relevant to the trip.

04

A workable plan

You leave knowing what is recommended, what is required, what needs an in-person service and what to do if time is short.

Before the appointment

Bring the journey into focus.

Accurate dates, destinations, records and medicines help the clinician give advice that is useful and safe.

  • All countries, regions and stopovers in order
  • Departure date, trip length and purpose
  • Accommodation and planned activities
  • Vaccination records, including records held in the NHS App

Important limits

  • Advice for one itinerary should not be reused for a different trip
  • Official entry requirements can change after the consultation
  • A consultation does not guarantee a vaccine, certificate, prescription or medicine
  • Travel insurance and access to care abroad remain the traveller’s responsibility
  • High-risk or complex travel may need a specialist travel clinic

Useful answers

Before you travel.

The right answer depends on the journey and the person taking it.

How early should I arrange advice?

Aim for at least 4 to 6 weeks before departure. Some vaccine courses need time between doses, but a review can still be worthwhile if you are leaving sooner.

Can I use the same plan for several countries?

Yes, if every destination and transit is included in the assessment. Advice can differ between regions of the same country.

Do I need my vaccination record?

Bring any records you have. The NHS App or your NHS GP may help with routine vaccination history, but privately administered vaccines may be recorded elsewhere.

Does the appointment cover entry rules?

Health and vaccination requirements are reviewed using current official sources. You must also check passport, visa, security and other entry rules directly with GOV.UK and the relevant authorities.

Will I receive vaccines at the consultation?

Vaccines require an appropriate in-person appointment. The clinic confirms which vaccines it can provide, timing, location and charges before administration.

Travel Clinic appointments

Start with your itinerary.

Email your name, contact details, departure date and the countries you plan to visit. Do not include symptoms, medical history or medicine details in ordinary email; the team will provide a secure route for clinical information.
