From October 2025 we will be able to offer a full travel advice clinic when our new Lead Nurse, Jenny Cobern, and Practice Nurse Millie Ince-Slater will be fully trained.  Until then we will be able to administer vaccinations but will not be able to give advice.

Travel vaccinations that are available at Glemsford Surgery are:

• Cholera
• Hepatitis A
• Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio
• Typhoid

If you require any one of the above vaccines then please contact our reception team to book an appointment with the nurse so that you can have your vaccinations free of charge. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks so we ask that you try to arrange this at least 6 weeks prior to departure. 

If you require vaccinations that are not available on the NHS, or if you are not sure which vaccinations you require, you will need to contact a private travel clinic who are able to offer a comprehensive travel assessment and advice service for which they charge a fee. 

If you are unsure of which vaccinations you have already received we will be happy to provide you with a copy of your immunisation history from your medical record.
