Travel advice is only useful if it is specific to where you are going, when, and what you will be doing. A city break and three weeks of rural trekking carry entirely different risks.
Book six to eight weeks before departure where you can — some vaccination courses take time, and some antimalarials must start before you travel.
Broad panels in people with no symptoms frequently do more harm than good. They produce incidental findings that generate anxiety, further tests and occasionally procedures, without improving outcomes.
What is worth doing is targeted testing guided by your age, symptoms and risk — which usually costs less and answers more. If we think a package would not help you, we will say so rather than sell it.
Fever after travel to a malarial area is a medical emergency. Seek urgent care the same day and say where you have been.
Malaria can develop up to a year after returning, is frequently mistaken for flu, and having taken your tablets correctly does not exclude it. Falciparum malaria can be fatal within days.
Also report after travel: diarrhoea persisting beyond two weeks; jaundice; an unexplained rash; and any animal bite or scratch, which needs assessing for rabies urgently wherever it happened.
TravelHealthPro (NaTHNaC) and fitfortravel (NHS Scotland) publish country-by-country guidance, free and updated continuously. They are what clinicians use. Read your destination's page before booking anything — you may find you need very little.
Ask your own practice before paying a travel clinic: hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera, and tetanus/diphtheria/polio are free at your GP surgery.
People pay travel clinics for these every week without asking, and it is money that did not need spending.
Vaccines available free on the NHS. Antimalarials bought abroad or online without prescription — counterfeit antimalarials are a well-documented and lethal problem, particularly in the regions where they are most needed. And whole-body scans and broad screening packages sold to healthy people.
Six to eight weeks. Some vaccination courses take weeks, and some antimalarials must start before departure.
The week before travel limits what is possible — sometimes to nothing useful.
No — vaccination requires an in-person appointment. We tell you exactly what you need and where to get it.
Ask your NHS practice first: hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera and tetanus/diphtheria/polio are free there.
The one matched to your destination, your history and what you will realistically take every day.
Doxycycline — cheap, daily, sun sensitivity, four weeks after return, not in pregnancy. Atovaquone/proguanil — well tolerated, shorter course afterwards, more expensive. Mefloquine — weekly, and unsuitable with a history of depression, anxiety, psychosis or epilepsy.
Resistance patterns vary by country, which is why the itinerary matters more than the price.
No — no antimalarial is fully effective, and bite avoidance is not the optional half.
DEET 50% applied after sunscreen, covered skin at dusk and dawn, and a treated bed net. This also protects against dengue, Zika and chikungunya, for which there is no preventive tablet at all.
The most important thing on this page. Seek urgent care the same day and say where you have been.
Malaria can develop up to a year after returning, is frequently mistaken for flu, and taking your tablets correctly does not exclude it.
Usually not, and this is worth saying before you spend the money.
Broad panels in people with no symptoms produce incidental findings — things that look abnormal, are almost always harmless, and generate anxiety, further tests and occasionally procedures.
Targeted testing guided by your age, symptoms and risk is more useful and costs less. And several of the most valuable checks are free on the NHS.
The free ones, and they are under-taken across the board.
Bowel cancer screening — the home kit, and uptake is what determines whether it works. Cervical screening, where attendance has fallen. Breast screening. The NHS Health Check at 40 to 74. AAA screening for men at 65.
Doing those beats any private package.
Send the exact wording before booking. Requirements vary enormously and are written narrowly — and if a GP letter will not satisfy it, we will tell you by email before taking any fee.
What no GP letter can cover: UK entry TB screening, panel physician examinations, and yellow fever certificates.
Useful at a border, but it is not a permit. Several countries prohibit medicines that are entirely ordinary in the UK — codeine, some ADHD medicines, some sleeping tablets, with the Gulf states, Japan and Singapore most often catching people out.
Check with that country's embassy before you fly. A UK letter does not override their law, and possession can be a criminal matter.
No. It covers state-provided healthcare in Europe and is free and worth having — but it does not cover repatriation, private treatment, or anything outside Europe.
Insurance with every condition declared is the thing that matters, and an undeclared condition is the standard reason claims are refused.

Same-day access is usually available, from 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. You choose a time that suits you rather than waiting on hold at 8am.
Yes. Care is led personally by Dr Mohammad Khan, so you are not passed between clinicians. Continuity is the point of a small practice: someone who knows your history and is listening attentively rather than working through a checklist.
Yes, with your consent. We can access your Summary Care Record during the consultation, so your current medications, allergies and significant history are in the room. That means fewer questions you have already answered elsewhere, and safer prescribing.
No. We are not here to replace GPs, only to support them. Your NHS practice remains responsible for your ongoing care, and with your consent we write to them after the consultation. We are useful when you need to be seen sooner, or want more time than a standard appointment allows.
Twenty unhurried minutes and a comprehensive assessment. A written treatment plan is included, along with any prescription, sick note or referral letter arising from the consultation, at no extra charge.
£40 for 20 minutes, self-pay. Membership is optional and never required. Priced for fairness, because we are not here to charge extortionate amounts for access to a doctor.
It means the diagnosis can usually be made from your history and photographs, and that treatment can be arranged safely without examining you. Where a condition is not marked treatable online, it is because examination is the diagnosis — listening to a chest, feeling an abdomen, examining an ear or a joint — or because a procedure or device is needed.
Yes, where there is a genuine bacterial infection — cellulitis, impetigo, bacterial urine infections, confirmed strep throat. We will also frequently tell you that you do not need one. Most sore throats, coughs, colds and earaches are viral, and an antibiotic gives you the side effects with none of the benefit.
If your problem turns out to be genuinely outside what we can do remotely, the doctor will tell you straight away, point you to the right service, and refund your fee in full. We would rather do that than fill twenty minutes to justify the charge.
Call 999 or go to A&E — do not book an online appointment and do not wait for a reply to an email. For urgent problems that are not emergencies, NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, online or by phone, and can direct you to the right service.
