Travel vaccinations & immunisations at a GP-led clinic
The travel vaccinations and immunisations you need depend on your destination, how long you are staying, your planned activities, and your vaccination history. The NHS recommends getting travel health advice 4 to 6 weeks before your trip, as some vaccines need time or multiple doses to provide protection.
Dr Faizal provides same-day routine and travel health consultations based on your destination and medical history. Our GP administers the appropriate travel vaccinations himself, prescribes tablets, and provides practical advice to help you travel safely. If you are based in Fulwood or Central Preston, you may book a home visit and get vaccinated the same day.

"I'd been putting off a conversation about my blood pressure for months. Dr Secretary gave me 30 minutes and went through everything properly. I left with my prescription and a referral already sorted."
"My son had a high temperature on a Saturday morning. We were seen the same day. The doctor was calm, thorough, and explained everything clearly. At £49, absolutely worth it for the peace of mind alone."
"The doctor didn't make me feel stupid for leaving things. He was straightforward, ran some bloods, and when I needed referring on, the letter was ready before I left the room. No extra charge."
