Period Delay Treatment
We offer private period delay treatment for patients who need to postpone their period due to travel, events, or sporting activities. After a brief consultation with our pharmacist, we can provide a suitable course of treatment if clinically appropriate. This service is available without needing to visit your GP.
Antimalarial Medication
If you’re travelling to a malaria-risk region, we can advise on and supply appropriate antimalarial tablets. We’ll guide you through the correct medication based on your destination, length of stay, and medical suitability, and provide important advice on bite prevention.
Traveller’s Diarrhoea
We offer advice and prevention packs for managing travellers’ diarrhoea. These may include rehydration sachets, standby medication, and hygiene tips to reduce your risk abroad. Prevention is key, and we’ll make sure you’re prepared.
Altitude Sickness
If your destination involves high-altitude travel, we can offer support and preventative medication where suitable. This helps reduce the risk of altitude-related illness and ensures a more comfortable experience on your trip.
Who Should Use the Travel Clinic?
This service is ideal for adults and young people preparing to travel abroad. You should book your consultation at least six to eight weeks before departure, as some vaccines require more than one dose or take time to become effective.
The service may not be suitable for children under 18 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Patients with complex medical histories should bring a list of current medications to help us make safe recommendations.
