FAQs

What is travel medicine and why is it important?

Travel medicine focuses on protecting your health before, during, and after travelling. It includes vaccinations, preventive advice, and guidance on staying safe from illnesses common in different destinations.

Do I need travel vaccinations for every trip?

Not every destination requires vaccinations, but many countries recommend or require certain immunisations. Our GPs can assess your travel plans and provide the vaccines and preventive measures appropriate for your journey.

How far in advance should I see a GP before travelling?

It’s best to book a consultation at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for vaccinations to take effect and for any preventive advice or medications to be prepared.

Can I get a travel health certificate or vaccination record?

Absolutely. GoldCare Medical Centre can provide official documentation for vaccinations, travel health certificates, and any other records required for travel.
