North Hyde Practice
167 North Hyde Road, Hayes, Middlesex UB3 4NS | Telephone: 020 8573 8560
Rated 4.7 on Google ReviewsTravel Health
We provide travel health advice and some travel vaccinations, for North Nyde Practice patients only.
The first step is to fill out the Travel Risk Assessment form online at least 6 weeks prior to travel; for long trips please allow 8 weeks. One form must be completed for each person travelling. If you are unable to use the online form, you are welcome to ask reception for a paper copy, or to speak to the nurse for support.
When we receive your form, the nursing team will review it, and you will be contacted to book either a telephone or face-to-face appointment. This may take 5 - 10 working days. If you are unable to wait, you may choose to attend a private travel clinic. Private travel clinics operate independently of the NHS and charge for their services.
We also recommend that you check the NHS Travel vaccination advice and TravelHealthPro websites for up-to-date information on health precautions relevant to your trip.
Not all travel vaccinations are available free on the NHS or at the practice, even if recommended for your travel destination. The following vaccines are available free on the NHS and provided by the practice for travelling:
-
Polio (as part of a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio vaccine)
-
Typhoid
-
Hepatitis A
-
Cholera
-
Tetanus (as part of a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio vaccine)
These vaccines are provided free because they protect against diseases considered to pose a significant public health risk if introduced into the United Kingdom.
For any additional travel vaccinations or recommended antimalarial medication, patients are responsible for arranging a consultation at a private travel clinic.
Submitting your form early gives us enough time to plan your care, order vaccines if needed, and ensure vaccines have sufficient time to take effect before you travel. If you cannot wait for an NHS travel appointment, you may choose to attend a private travel clinic.
Late submission
If your Travel Risk Assessment form is submitted 5 weeks or less before travel, we will try to offer an appointment where possible. In some cases, only a telephone consultation may be available, and you will need to contact a private clinic if any vaccinations are needed.
Forms submitted less than 2 weeks before travel, you may need to attend a private travel clinic for specialist advice and vaccinations. Your vaccines records can be seen any time using the NHS App, or contact the GP surgery to request a copy of your immunisation records.

Travelling in Europe
Your rights & EU rules
If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.
As an EU national, you enjoy the right of free movement. This means you’re entitled to travel, work and live in another EU country. If you’re a citizen of a Schengen country – which is most EU countries – you’re also free to travel to other Schengen countries without the need for border checks.
As an EU national, you can also benefit from EU-wide passenger rights for travel into, out of or within the EU by air, rail, bus/coach or ship. You can travel with pets and other animals in the EU provided you comply with the rules (pet passports). There are EU limits on taking alcohol, tobacco or cash with you to another EU country. Each EU country can set its own limits or restrictions, so check before you go.
