Specialist Travel Clinic Hampstead — Led by One of the UK’s Most Qualified Travel Pharmacists

We recommend 6–8 weeks before departure. Vaccines such as Rabies and Hepatitis B require multiple doses over several weeks. If travelling sooner, please still book — accelerated dosing schedules can provide significant protection even days before departure.

The deposit you pay at the time of booking reserves your appointment and is deducted in full from the total service cost when you visit us, provided you meet our cancellation policy. It is not an extra fee.

Planning a new trip? Book a First appointment. If you received your first vaccine elsewhere, you should also book a First appointment with us for your next dose — this ensures we have time to review your existing course and plan the rest of it correctly.

Book a Follow-up appointment only if you have already begun your vaccine course at our clinic.

Yes. If you are booking for someone else, please use their name on the booking, not your own — this ensures their clinical record is created correctly.

If you are booking for multiple people, please enter every person’s name in the “Reason for visit” box at the booking stage so we can prepare the right number of slots and clinical records ahead of your visit.

Notice required. Appointments must be cancelled or rescheduled at least 48 hours in advance. You can manage your booking using the link in your confirmation email or by contacting us directly.

Refunds. If you cancel with at least 48 hours’ notice, your deposit is refunded minus a standard £1 administrative fee (slightly higher for group appointments). For some services or group bookings, different deposit amounts and refund rules may apply; where this is the case the fees are stated clearly at the time of booking.

Late cancellations and non-attendance. Cancellation under 48 hours’ notice or failure to attend results in a charge of £25 (or as advertised for your specific service). This reflects the clinical time reserved for you and is not intended as a penalty.

If, after a clinical risk assessment, our prescribing pharmacist judges that vaccination or medication is not appropriate or safe for you, a £25 non-refundable consultation fee applies. This reflects the clinical assessment time reserved for you. For group bookings, advertised group rates apply in the same way.

Two things.

1. Complete the pre-consultation questionnaire sent with your booking confirmation email. This captures your itinerary, medical history and previous vaccinations before you arrive, so we can spend the appointment on clinical decisions rather than paperwork.

2. Bring your itinerary and all vaccination records — travel dates, destinations, planned activities; plus NHS App printouts, the Personal Child Health Record (Red Book), or cards from previous travel clinics. This avoids duplicate doses and lets us plan accelerated schedules accurately where time before departure is short.

Yes. We are a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (No. 5475). Your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) — signed, stamped, and valid for life — is issued immediately after vaccination.

No. Mahyar Saremi is a qualified Independent Prescriber (IPresc) and MFTM RCPS(Glasg). He can independently assess your itinerary, prescribe, and administer all required vaccines and antimalarials in a single appointment.

Yes. If your itinerary carries malaria risk, our prescribing pharmacist can prescribe and dispense the most appropriate antimalarial medication — including Malarone, Doxycycline, or Lariam — directly on the day of consultation.

Yes. If your itinerary includes high-altitude destinations (Himalayas, Andes, Kilimanjaro etc.), we can prescribe and supply Acetazolamide (Diamox) and provide expert acclimatisation advice.

Yes. Depending on your destination and medical history, our independent prescriber can prescribe a standby course of antibiotics alongside food and water hygiene advice.

Yes. When clinically suitable, we can prescribe and supply Melatonin to help reset your sleep-wake cycle and reduce the effects of jet lag across multiple time zones.

Yes. We are a family-friendly clinic with extensive experience vaccinating children of all ages. Please bring your child’s Personal Child Health Record (Red Book) or NHS immunisation history printout.

You can view your routine NHS immunisation records via the NHS App. If unavailable, our prescribing pharmacist will conduct a thorough risk assessment to safely determine the best course of action.

The NHS usually provides Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera, and Diphtheria/Tetanus/Polio boosters free through your GP. Rabies, Yellow Fever, Japanese Encephalitis, Meningitis ACWY, Hepatitis B, Tick-Borne Encephalitis, Chikungunya, and Dengue are only available privately — we stock all of these routinely.

Yes. After every consultation, we automatically send a complete vaccination record to both you and your registered GP. This keeps your NHS records accurate and gives you a permanent travel health document for future trips.
