Destination-Specific Advice

    Up-to-date health intelligence and personalised recommendations for your travel destination.

    Pharmacist-administered 2 Gloucester locations Appointments available this week

    Overview

    Health risks vary significantly between destinations. A beach holiday in Thailand carries different risks to a safari in Kenya or a business trip to India. Our pharmacists use the latest NaTHNaC country profiles and WHO outbreak alerts to provide you with accurate, destination-specific guidance.

    We'll help you understand the health risks at your destination and recommend the right combination of vaccinations, antimalarials, and preventative measures to keep you safe.
