✈️ Travel Vaccination Notice
If you are planning to travel abroad, please contact the practice at least 6 weeks before your departure date to discuss any vaccinations or travel health advice you may need.

Travel vaccines often need to be given well in advance to ensure they are effective, and some destinations may require a course of vaccines over several weeks. There is a form on our Ask My GP you can complete with your relevant travel details to allow our team to review. Alternatively, you can collect a form from our Reception.

Please note:
If you do not contact us with a minimum of 6 weeks’ notice, we cannot guarantee an appointment before you travel.
To avoid disappointment, please plan ahead and get in touch as early as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We are aware of recent news regarding the outbreak of Meningitis B in Kent and understand this may be causing concern.

At present, there is no change to local guidance in Wigan.

The NHS Meningitis B vaccine is routinely offered as part of the childhood immunisation schedule at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 1 year.

Outside of this schedule, the vaccine is not currently available on the NHS unless advised by public health teams.

We would like to reassure our patients that there are currently no confirmed cases in the North West.

We continue to follow advice from UKHSA and will update you if there are any changes to this guidance.
