Travel Vaccinations
If you are planning a trip abroad you may require vaccinations to protect you.
Grosvenor and St James is a Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
Some vaccinations for travel are not provided by the NHS. We provide these vaccinations as a private service to our registered patients.
Some malaria tablets can be obtained without prescription from your local chemist. For those that require a prescription, this is made via a private prescription for which there is a charge.
If you would like your travel vaccinations at the surgery please submit a request via Anima using the Travel Vaccination form. Please submit your request at least 8 weeks prior to your departure date.
The price of your travel vaccinations will be provided to you following submission of your enquiry.
Patients Requesting Letters for Travelling with Medication
Different countries and airlines can have different requirements for medication information. Please check with your airline and the country you are travelling to and allow at least 14 working days for any requests to the practice.
Patients can have immediate access to their medication information through the following:
Patients can request online:
- A ‘defined medication summary’
If more information is required by the airline or country you are travelling to, you may need a 'Medication Travel' letter - for example if you are travelling with controlled medication.
- See the Government website for travel advice with medication
- Always check airline and country information before submitting your request
- Please specify exactly what the requirements are and what your letter should include.
Please note as this is a tailored letter, there is a pre-payable fee of £55 for Medication Travel letter.
Please allow at least 14 working days when you put your request in online.
Medication for Fear of Flying
People often come to us requesting that we prescribe diazepam for fear of flying, or to assist with sleep during flights.
After careful review, Grosvenor and St James Medical Practice has adopted a policy not to prescribe benzodiazepines (e.g. diazepam) for fear of flying. This aligns with many other GP practices and national guidelines.
