What a travel health consultation can cover

Whether your health condition or medicines affect your plans
Taking regular medicines abroad and having enough supply
Advice for diabetes, asthma, heart problems or pregnancy while travelling
Common travel illnesses such as stomach upsets and sunburn
Where to go for vaccinations — these need an in-person visit to a travel clinic, GP or pharmacy

Letters and certificates

Some travellers need a letter confirming they take certain medicines, or a fitness-to-travel opinion. Your doctor will decide what they can honestly write after speaking to you. They can only document what they have assessed, so give details early rather than the day before you fly.

Plan ahead

Book at least a few weeks before your trip if you need vaccines
Bring a list of your medicines and allergies
Check your destination’s health advice from official sources
Make sure your travel insurance covers existing conditions

Frequently asked questions

Can I get travel vaccines online?

No. Vaccines must be given in person. An online doctor can advise what you may need and where to get it.

Can you write a letter for my medicines?

Your doctor can consider this after the consultation, depending on what they have assessed.

How far ahead should I book?

If you need vaccinations, at least 6 to 8 weeks before travel is best. For general advice, any time before you go.
