Every vaccine we offer is stocked on-site; every recommendation is built around your specific trip, not a standard destination list.
A simple, four-step process from booking to protection. Here is what to expect at every visit.
No phone queues. Pick a time and confirm instantly.
Your pharmacist reviews your trip and recommends the right protection.
Vaccinated on-site by a qualified pharmacist in around 20 minutes.
Leave with protection, clear advice, and certificates issued on the day.
We stock the complete range and we only recommend what your trip actually calls for.
Certified NaTHNaC centre. Required for some countries. Certificate issued same day, valid for life.
Riskier than most expect. Recommended for remote travel, long stays, and families with children.
For aid workers and travellers visiting outbreak areas or regions with limited clean water access.
Mosquito-borne illness in tropical regions. Two vaccine options; suitability confirmed during your appointment.
Vaccine requirements vary by country, region, and how you are travelling. Use this as your starting point.
Not every travel risk is covered by a jab. These are the medications we supply for the ones that are not.
Malaria risk depends on your specific route and health history. After a personal assessment, we provide Malarone, Doxycycline, or Mefloquine. Paediatric options are also available during your travel appointment.
Above 2,500 metres, altitude sickness can affect anyone. We provide Acetazolamide (Diamox) for adults over 18 heading to high-altitude regions like Peru or Nepal, following a brief clinical assessment.
Melatonin is effective only when timed perfectly with your flight. We provide Melatonin 3mg for adults over 18, including a personalised schedule to help you adjust quickly to new time zones.
Safe and discreet, these tablets help you manage your cycle during holidays or weddings. We provide Norethisterone 5mg to eligible patients aged 16+ after a quick, private appointment.
Protect yourself and newborns with our private whooping cough vaccination. Available for adults and pregnant women, your pharmacist will confirm eligibility and answer any questions during your visit.
Be prepared for high-risk destinations with standby antibiotic treatments and expert food safety advice. Our service also includes essential rehydration supplies to keep you moving during your trip.
Your destination is just the starting point. Your pharmacist considers the full picture.
The vaccines you need depend on where you’re going, how long you’ll be there and what you’ll be doing. A beach holiday in Turkey requires a very different discussion than a three-month trip through rural India.
Let’s schedule a appointment and we’ll walk through it together. You leave knowing what you need and why.
Book early and your protection will be fully in place long before you board.
Some vaccines work after a single dose given days before travel. Others, like Rabies and Hepatitis B, require a course of two or three doses spread over several weeks.
Aim to book your travel health appointment at least six to eight weeks before departure. If your trip is sooner, get in touch we will tell you straight what is still achievable.
Come prepared and your appointment will run smoothly from the start.
