At Loughton Surgery, we offer a wide range of clinics and services to support your health issues;
If you are planning to travel abroad, you may need vaccinations to protect your health while away. Our practice nurse can advise you on what’s required based on your destination and type of travel.
To ensure you're protected in time, please book your initial travel consultation at least 6 weeks before your departure date.
Your Travel Vaccination Journey:
First appointment – Consultation with the practice nurse to review your travel plans and determine which vaccines are needed
Second appointment – You’ll receive the vaccinations. This must be scheduled at least 2 weeks before travel to allow the vaccines to take effect.
⛔ Some vaccines must be ordered in — they are not held in stock, so planning ahead is essential.
Not all travel vaccines are covered by the NHS. Some require a private prescription, which incurs an additional charge.
| Vaccine | Price per Dose (£) | Doses Required | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hepatitis B – Adult | £50 | 3 | £150 |
| Hepatitis B – Paediatric | £50 | 3 | £150 |
| Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio | £40 | 1 | £40 |
Payment will be required prior to or at the time of vaccination. Please ask reception for full details.

GPs are contracted to provide care under the NHS National Service Framework, but not all services requested by patients or third parties fall within this scope.
Many forms, reports, and letters for solicitors, employers, insurance companies, or licensing authorities are not covered by the NHS. These tasks are often carried out outside of normal working hours, and as such, a private fee applies.
In some cases, the patient will be responsible for paying the fee directly.
