The Travel Clinic at The Hospital for Tropical Diseases (HTD) is a nationally commissioned NHS service offering comprehensive care for patients with underlying health conditions and/or complex travel health needs, including but not limited to:

  • Immuno-vulnerable travellers (autoimmune, cancer, inherited disorders, HIV, transplants, sickle cell)
  • Older persons (over 60 years)
  • Babies and young children
  • Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or individuals trying to conceive
  • Travellers with allergies
  • Underlying medical conditions (kidney disease, epilepsy, diabetes, heart diseases, haematological disorders, etc)

We provide pre-travel health advice and risk assessments, as well as antimalarial and other travel-related medications and vaccinations.

In addition to this, we provide post-travel NHS appointments to screen for asymptomatic infections in individuals returning from high-risk trips.

For post-travel screening all referrals should be submitted via Electronic Referral System (ERS).
