Travel Health is a specialised area of medicine and our travel health nurses operate to strict clinical protocols and will undertake a full risk assessment with every consultation based on the information you provide about your itinerary and medical history.

The clinic offers a full range of vaccinations and anti-malarial medication and nurses have access to the latest travel heath information, provided by MASTA’s clinical team.

All vaccines and anti-malarial drugs are stored on-site and are readily available. A range of useful healthcare items is also available to protect against such hazards as biting insects, unsafe water, exposure to strong sunlight and travellers’ diarrhoea.

It is important to understand that travel health is a specialised area of medicine and at your initial consultation you will be asked a few short questions regarding your travel plans, your health and any previous vaccinations. Most vaccinations are well tolerated with few side effects - the nurse will discuss any that may apply to you.

As we head in to the summer months, it’s a useful time to highlight that we cannot help with medical issues if you are on holiday abroad. Remember to pack sun cream and a good first aid kit when travelling. Pharmacies in Europe can often help with minor illness such as ear ache or insect bites. In the event that you need medical assistance while on holiday, you should seek a local service and inform your insurance company as appropriate. We recommend you have adequate travel insurance. If you are travelling to a country in the Europe Economic Area (EEA), you can apply for a free UK Global Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which may give you access to free or reduced cost medical treatment.

June is #NationalScoliosisAwarenessMonth, scoliosis is when a spine twists and curves to the side. We do not know why scoliosis happens in some people and not in others. Some patients have family members with scoliosis. Scoliosis can occur at any age, but most commonly it develops during early adolescence. This is a period of rapid growth when a child’s body starts to grow and becomes more adult. Treatment varies and might include physiotherapy, a brace, or surgery. Sometimes no treatment at all is needed but the curve in the spine is monitored to see if it gets worse. To learn more about scoliosis: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/scoliosis/
