Delivering Quality Travel Care

The Edinburgh Travel Clinic is part of Newington Pharmacy, which is an Independent Community Pharmacy, based in Edinburgh.

We who run the travel clinic are Community Pharmacists registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) of Great Britain with a passion for Travel Health. More than half of the UK population that go abroad every year don’t get vaccinated when they should or receive up to date health advice for their destinations and activities. We aim to change that.

We are fully trained and then retrained every year, to provide a full range of travel vaccinations and antimalarials. We will always counsel you with the most up-to-date travel health advice you’ll need to stay safe and aware on your trip.

Please get in touch with us or begin your online travel consultation now.

TrExMed is a specialist travel clinic and expedition consultancy service run by two partners, Dr Jim Bond (independent Consultant in Travel Medicine) and Nicky Armstrong (specialist Travel Nurse Practitioner). Both Nicky and Jim have many years of experience of working in Travel Medicine and related fields.

We love travelling ourselves, and find seeing travellers one of the more enjoyable sides to our work. We are aware that many travellers need to seek expert advice vaccinations or malaria tablets at short notice and outside working hours and we aim to fulfil this need at the clinic.

Jim and Nicky have both completed the Diploma of Travel Medicine.  Nicky is an Associate Member and Jim a Fellow of the Faculty of Travel Medicine  of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Jim has also been awarded the Certificate of Travel Health Knowledge by the International Society of Travel Medicine  (ISTM).

What makes TrExMed different?

We realise that we are not the only dedicated travel clinic in the Edinburgh area. What we feel make us different are our:

• Location , Trexmed Travel Clinic Edinburgh is particularly handy for the South and SW of Edinburgh, with good bus connections and close to bicycle routes.
• Out-of-hours appointment times , convenient for busy working people and families. 'Last-minute' travellers can also usually be accommodated.
• The first mobile travel clinic service in Edinburgh (we can come to you): a great time-saver, and often more cost-effective for corporate clients and groups.
• One-stop travel health shop , for mosquito nets, sun-cream, insect repellents, water purifiers and other useful travel health items
• TrExMed Travel insurance : our recommended and specially arranged policy.
• Specialist expedition health risk assessment service for schools, research institutions, charity treks, film crews and others working in remote parts of the world
• Post-travel investigations and care , including screening for schistosomiasis (bilharzia) and zika infection
• SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) PCR testing for travellers

Responsible / ethical travel medicine

Travelling is an interactive experience, which should ideally be empowering and mutually beneficial to both travellers and local host communities alike.

We at TrExMed are very much committed to promoting responsible travel and ethical travel medicine. Jim writes and teaches on the Ethics of travel and expedition medicine and is a past Chair of the Responsible Travel Group of ISTM.

Travel vaccination advice

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Vaccinations are available to protect you against infections such as yellow fever , typhoid and hepatitis A .

In the UK, the  NHS routine immunisation (vaccination) schedule protects you against a number of diseases, but does not cover all of the infectious diseases found overseas.

When should I start thinking about the vaccines I need?

If possible, see the GP or a private travel clinic at least 6 to 8 weeks before you're due to travel.

Some vaccines need to be given well in advance to allow your body to develop immunity.

And some vaccines involve a number of doses spread over several weeks or months.

You may be more at risk of some diseases, for example, if you're:

• travelling in rural areas
• backpacking
• staying in hostels or camping
• on a long trip rather than a package holiday

If you have a pre-existing health problem, this may make you more at risk of infection or complications from a travel-related illness.

Which travel vaccines do I need?

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

• Travel Health Pro
• NHS Fit for Travel

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.

Saudi Arabia requires proof of vaccination against certain types of meningitis for visitors arriving for the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.

Even if an ICVP is not required, it's still a good idea to take a record of the vaccinations you have had with you.

Find out more about the vaccines available for travellers abroad

Where do I get my travel vaccines?

First, phone or visit the GP practice or practice nurse to find out whether your existing UK vaccinations are up-to-date.

If you have any records of your vaccinations, let the GP know what you have had previously.

The GP or practice nurse can give you general advice about travel vaccinations and travel health, such as protecting yourself from malaria.

They can give you any missing doses of your UK vaccines if you need them.

Not all travel vaccinations are available free on the NHS, even if they're recommended for travel to a certain area.

If the GP practice can give you the travel vaccines you need but they are not available on the NHS, ask for:

• written information on what vaccines are needed
• the cost of each dose or course
• any other charges you may have to pay, such as for some certificates of vaccination

You can also get travel vaccines from:

• private travel vaccination clinics
• pharmacies offering travel healthcare services

Which travel vaccines are free?

The following travel vaccines are available free on the NHS from your GP surgery:

• polio (given as a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab )
• hepatitis A

These vaccines are free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.

Which travel vaccines will I have to pay for?

You'll have to pay for travel vaccinations against:

• hepatitis B
• Japanese encephalitis
• tick-borne encephalitis
• tuberculosis (TB)
• yellow fever

Yellow fever vaccines are only available from designated centres .

The cost of travel vaccines that are not available on the NHS will vary, depending on the vaccine and number of doses you need.

It's worth considering this when budgeting for your trip.

Other things to consider

There are other things to consider when planning your travel vaccinations, including:

• your age and health – you may be more vulnerable to infection than others; some vaccines cannot be given to people with certain medical conditions
• working as an aid worker – you may come into contact with more diseases in a refugee camp or helping after a natural disaster
• working in a medical setting – a doctor, nurse or another healthcare worker may require additional vaccinations
• contact with animals – you may be more at risk of getting diseases spread by animals, such as rabies

If you're only travelling to countries in northern and central Europe, North America or Australia, you're unlikely to need any vaccinations.

But it's important to check that you're up-to-date with routine vaccinations available on the NHS.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Speak to a GP before having any vaccinations if:

• you're pregnant
• you think you might be pregnant
• you're breastfeeding

In many cases, it's unlikely a vaccine given while you're pregnant or breastfeeding will cause problems for the baby.

But the GP will be able to give you further advice about this.

People with immune deficiencies

For some people travelling overseas, vaccination against certain diseases may not be advised.

This may be the case if:

• you have a condition that affects your body's immune system, such as HIV or AIDS
• you're receiving treatment that affects your immune system, such as chemotherapy
• you have recently had a bone marrow or organ transplant

A GP can give you further advice about this.

Non-travel vaccines

As well as getting any travel vaccinations you need, it's also a good opportunity to make sure your other vaccinations are up-to-date and have booster vaccines if necessary.

Although many routine NHS vaccinations are given during childhood, you can have some of them (such as the MMR vaccine ) as an adult if you missed getting vaccinated as a child.

There are also some extra NHS vaccinations for people at higher risk of certain illnesses, such as the flu vaccine , the hepatitis B vaccine and the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) .

Your GP can advise you about any NHS vaccinations you might need.
