What's included
What your free consultation covers
It's a proper travel health assessment, not a sales pitch. The pharmacist works through your trip with you and gives you a clear plan you can act on — here or anywhere else.
Free means free
There's no charge for the consultation and no obligation to have anything afterwards. You only pay if you decide to go ahead with vaccines, at a price confirmed before anything is given.
Book your free consultationWhere you're going
Country-by-country risk for your actual route — including stopovers and rural stops, not just the main destination. Guidance follows UK travel health sources such as NaTHNaC and TravelHealthPro.
Your itinerary and how long you're away
Dates, length of stay and the order you're travelling in decide what's worth having and what can realistically be completed before you fly.
What you'll actually be doing
Trekking, diving, volunteering, working with animals, staying with friends and family, backpacking or an all-inclusive hotel — the risk is different for each, and so is the advice.
Your health, medicines and vaccination history
Long-term conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, your regular medicines and what you've already been vaccinated against all shape what's suitable for you.
Malaria risk and bite avoidance
Whether your route carries malaria risk, how to reduce bites, and whether tablets should be considered. Antimalarials are Prescription Only Medicines and are only decided at the consultation.
Certificates and entry requirements
Which certificates your destination requires, such as meningitis ACWY for Hajj and Umrah, and what to check before you travel. Yellow fever certificates can only be issued by designated centres, and we'll tell you where your nearest one is.
What you need — and what you don't
You'll leave with a written plan: what's recommended, what's optional, what isn't needed for your trip, and what each option costs.
What it isn't
- It isn't a GP appointment, and it isn't a diagnosis of any symptoms you currently have.
- It isn't a commitment — plenty of people leave with a plan and book the vaccines later.
- It doesn't include the vaccines themselves. Those are charged separately and only given after the assessment.
- We can't give yellow fever vaccine or issue an ICVP certificate here — we're not a designated centre, so we'll point you to your nearest one.
If you're unwell, or you have symptoms you're worried about, please speak to your GP or call NHS 111 rather than booking a travel consultation.
How it works
Three steps, one appointment
Book a slot, talk it through with a pharmacist, and leave with a written plan. What happens after that is entirely your call.
Book a slot
Book online or call the clinic. Tell us where you're going and how many of you are travelling, and we'll put you in together where we can. There's nothing to pay to book.
Talk it through with a pharmacist
You'll go through your destination, dates, itinerary, activities, health, medicines and vaccination history. Ask anything — this is what the appointment is for.
Leave with a plan
You'll get a clear written plan: what's recommended, what's optional, what you don't need, what each option costs, and the dates any course would need to start. If you want to go ahead, suitable vaccines can usually be given in the same visit.
What to bring
- Your travel dates and a rough itinerary — countries, regions, cities, any rural stops
- Any record of vaccines you've already had (childhood red book, GP printout, previous travel clinic card)
- A list of your regular medicines and any long-term conditions
- Details of what you'll be doing — trekking, diving, volunteering, working with animals, staying with family
- Your passport or travel documents if you think a certificate may be needed
Good to know
- The consultation is free whether or not you have any vaccines afterwards.
- There's no obligation — you can take the plan away and think about it.
- You don't need to be registered with us or see your GP first.
- Bring the whole family; tell us everyone's ages when you book.
- If your trip is soon, say so when you call — we'll tell you honestly what's still worth doing.
How long it takes: [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: appointment length] — we'll confirm the length when you book.
Appointments are subject to availability. Some vaccine courses need starting several weeks before travel, so the earlier you come, the more options you have.

Common questions
The free consultation, answered honestly.
Anything else you'd like to ask? Call the clinic on 01543 682921 and speak to a pharmacist.
Yes. The travel health risk assessment with the pharmacist is free — there's no booking fee, no consultation fee and no charge for the plan you take away. The vaccines themselves are charged separately, and only if you decide to have them. The pharmacist confirms the price with you before anything is given.
Then you pay nothing. That happens fairly often — plenty of trips need nothing more than routine boosters you've already had, plus food, water and bite-avoidance advice. You'll still leave with a written plan and know where you stand.
No. You're welcome to take the plan away and think about it, compare prices, or check what your GP surgery can offer on the NHS. If you do want to go ahead, vaccines that are clinically appropriate can usually be given in the same visit, so you don't need a second trip.
Neither. The consultation is open to anyone — you don't need to be a pharmacy customer, you don't need to be registered with us, and you don't need a referral. Some travel vaccines are free on the NHS through GP surgeries. If something you need is one of those, we'll say so.
Ideally 6 to 8 weeks before you travel, which leaves room for courses that need more than one dose. If your trip is sooner, book anyway or call us. Several vaccines can be given closer to departure, and the pharmacist will be straight with you about what can and can't be completed in time.
We can advise, but we can't vaccinate. Yellow fever vaccine is only given at centres designated for it, and Burntwood Clinic is not a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre — so we can't give the vaccine or issue an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP). At the consultation the pharmacist will check whether your route needs it and point you to your nearest designated centre. The closest to Burntwood is Touchwood Pharmacy at Greenhill Health Centre, Lichfield WS13 6JL.
