Immunisation
• Always check whether you need any immunisations or malarial tablets before you travel.
• Please contact the practice 10 - 12 weeks in
advance of your travel date to arrange travel immunisations.
Oakenhall Medical Practice provides the following vaccinations free under the NHS, where required for travel purposes:
We do not currently offer private travel vaccinations i.e. ones other than those above, that the NHS does not cover the cost of. For these please contact a private travel vaccination clinic.
If anti-malarial medication advice is required, you will be directed to contact your Community Pharmacy.
We do not provide vaccinations nor blood tests for occupational health purposes.
If your traveling date is more than 10-12 weeks ahead:
It is always a wise precaution to pack some essential items in case of illness on holiday. Do choose medicines according to your needs and the country you are visiting. If you take prescription medicines regularly remember to pack then too.
Pregnant and Flying
Please note - we do not assess fitness to fly, but can provide a factual statement in respects of the pregnancy for the airline if required. This is a private service so will incur a charge.
Please ensure that your travel insurance is informed that you are pregnant and that it covers your baby if it is born prematurely whilst away.
Tablets for Fear of Flying: Why we don't prescribe them any more
People sometimes ask the doctor or nurse to prescribe diazepam, or similar drugs like lorazepam temazepam or clonazepam, for fear of flying or to help sleep during flights.
Prescribing these drugs is not recommended any more for these reasons:
So we will no longer be providing Diazepam or similar drugs for flight anxiety. Instead please try one of these aviation industry recommended flight anxiety courses.
