Essential Travel information
Before booking and travelling, please ensure you are aware of any travel alerts for the country you are intending to visit. For detailed information, please visit the UK Government Foreign Travel Advice Service: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice
For vaccination and general health information, please visit the Health Pro web site: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/countries
Some counties may have mandatory health and vaccination requirements. It is recommended to check the above web site but also seek advice on recommended vaccinations and precautions from a health professional – either a GP, a practice nurse, a pharmacist or a travel health clinic – ideally at least eight weeks before departure.
Basic Healthcare outside the UK: It is highly recommended to obtain the free GHIC card which will allow you free basic healthcare in reciprocal countries.
