Travel health consultation
Going somewhere? Twenty minutes with the pharmacist: what your destination needs, what you already have, and the jabs given there and then.
Book online at least 1 day ahead
- £25 for the consultation; each vaccine is priced separately, and you’re told the price before it’s given
- Open till 10:30pm: book after work, not around it
- Most vaccines in stock and given in the same visit
- Book 4–6 weeks before you go: some jabs need time to work
No vaccine is given without you agreeing the price first.
If you feel very unwell, call NHS 111, or in an emergency, 999.
What you get
Your trip, not a leaflet
Country by country: what’s required, what’s recommended, and what you can safely skip. Malaria tablets, altitude, food and water advice included.
Pay only for what you need
The £25 covers the advice, your travel vaccination record and a certificate where one is needed. If you’re already covered, we’ll tell you.
Done on the day
Most vaccines are given in the same visit, so there’s no second trip. Courses are planned around your flight date.
Someone to come back to
A question the night before you fly? Call, chat or drop in. We’re open until 10:30pm every day.

Quick answers
- Do I need to see my GP first?
- No. The pharmacist can advise on every common travel vaccine and give most of them here. We’ll say if anything needs your GP.
- I fly in a fortnight: is it too late?
- Usually not. Some vaccines protect within days, and a course can often be started. Book now and we’ll do what’s possible.
