Travel Health

Preparing for travel involves more than vaccinations alone. Our travel consultations are designed to ensure you’re appropriately protected and well-informed before your trip, taking into account your destination, itinerary, medical history, and individual risk factors.

Led by an experienced GP, appointments provide tailored advice on travel health, prevention, and vaccination planning. The aim is to help you travel with confidence, knowing that appropriate precautions have been considered in advance. Our clinic is based in Carshalton Beeches, serving patients across Sutton, Wallington, Banstead, and South London.

Travel Consultation - 40 minutes | £195

A GP-led travel health consultation to ensure you are appropriately protected for your trip.

Includes:

Review of itinerary and medical history
Individualised vaccination and prevention advice
Up to two prescription items

Please note: vaccines are administered separately following assessment and advice.

We recommend you book your travel consultation as far in advance of your holiday as possible to allow for arrangement of vaccine schedule.

Why book your travel health appointment privately?

NHS travel health services are limited and often unavailable at short notice. Many GP surgeries no longer offer travel vaccinations at all, and those that do frequently have long waiting times. Booking privately means you can be seen promptly, with enough time to complete any required vaccine courses before your departure.

Our travel health consultations are led by Dr Carrasco, an experienced GP who will assess your full itinerary, medical history, and individual risk factors — not just hand you a generic list of vaccines.

What does the consultation cover?

Your 40-minute travel health consultation includes a review of your travel itinerary and destinations, your personal medical history and any existing conditions, individualised advice on vaccines and preventative medication, malaria risk assessment and prescription where appropriate, and up to two prescription items.

Common travel vaccines we can advise on

Depending on your destination and itinerary, vaccines and preventative treatments we can advise on include Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Yellow Fever (certificate issued where applicable), Cholera, Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies, Meningitis ACWY, and malaria prevention tablets for high-risk destinations.

Not all vaccines are suitable for all patients — your consultation will always be tailored to your individual circumstances.

When should I book?

We recommend booking your travel health consultation as early as possible — ideally at least 6 to 8 weeks before departure. Some vaccines require multiple doses given weeks apart, and starting early gives you the best protection.

That said, if your trip is sooner, please still get in touch — we will always do our best to provide appropriate protection within the time available.

FAQs

Do I need a travel health consultation for every trip?

Not necessarily. If you are travelling to low-risk destinations with no specific vaccine requirements, a consultation may not be needed. However, if you are travelling to tropical, developing, or high-risk regions, a consultation is strongly recommended.

Are travel vaccines included in the consultation price?

Vaccines are administered separately and charged in addition to the consultation fee. We will advise you on exactly which vaccines are recommended and their costs at your appointment.

Can you issue a Yellow Fever certificate?

Please contact us to confirm availability, as Yellow Fever certification requires specific accreditation.

Do you prescribe malaria tablets?

Yes, where clinically appropriate following your consultation.

I booked an appointment with Dr. Carrasco for my dad, and she was very calm and patient, answering all the questions he asked. She is such a wonderful doctor. She was previously our GP, and I really appreciate the excellent service I received for my Dad.

I booked an appointment with Dr Carrasco after becoming frustrated with my local NHS practice and it was a truly refreshing experience. She listened to me, took time to understand my worries and helped me feel better about things, with a clear plan of what needs to be done next. I would recommend Dr Carrasco to anyone looking for a proper ‘family doctor’ who really puts her patients first.

I went to see Dr Carrasco recently and was impressed with her clinic. There was parking available and i was greeted at the door and made to feel welcome. Dr Carrasco listened to my concerns and recommended what i needed and followed up with me afterwards. I would highly recommend her. A very worthwhile visit.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Carrasco a few weeks ago. She took time to understand my concerns and I didn't feel rushed. She was able to provide me with the tests I needed and turned around my blood tests very quickly. Highly recommend this clinic and Dr Carrasco. It is reassuring to have this clinic so close to home and the ability to arrange a speedy appointment

I had a really positive experience with Dr Carrasco. She was kind, friendly, and took the time to really listen to what I had to say. I never felt rushed, and she made me feel heard and supported throughout. It’s rare to find a doctor who gives you that level of attention and care. Thank you for all your help – it was very much appreciated!

For the first time.I can truly say that
I enjoyed a medical visit to a surgery.
The wonderful Dr Maria Carrasco
With so many years of experience in large numbers of people in her practice
.Really listened to me.
I had been feeling so worried as my condition
seemed to be getting worse A really horrendous experience.I felt the medical profession were letting me down completely .
In leaving me for nearly four months in constant pain And only sending in a referral to a specialist in the last four weeks .With long waiting lists .
So you can imagine how I felt when the amazing Dr Maria Carrasco phoned the Laboratory on my behalf regarding samples.
And outlined a treatment plan for me
it was like coming out of a nightmare .She listens to her patients .
And I felt for the first time for months that she understood what I was going through and that she was going to take the right action for me.

And would do everything in her power
To get me the correct treatment to put an end to my problem The relief was instant and I floated on air out of the surgery.
Then I started phoning everyone that I knew who were worried about health.problems to Come to the Trinity surgery and get help .
I had the most
wonderful consultation that I have ever had in my long life with a caring professional .who put my mind at rest immediately .
Doctors also refer patients to the surgery as
Trinity has the most up date Testing equipment Including scans and MRI.No long queues and
When you arrive there is A very welcome reception by Jacob and his team.

A relaxing and happy environment from the start
I highly recommend the Trinity surgery
Let it work it’s magic on you
You will never regret it.Rita Uochurch

I was very impressed with the facilities and service I received. I needed an urgent blood test and results to reassure me that my current medication levels were correct. Dr Carrasco was very sympathetic to my concerns and provided reassurance. My results were reviewed and I was updated very quickly. Cannot recommend this new practice enough.

Jayne Blissett

Saw Dr Carrasco for the 1st time at this new clinic today. She used to be my GP a few years ago and I was so sad that I had to find a new GP nearer to where I had moved to. I was delighted to find that she had set up privately in this lovely new clinic.
I was with her for quite a while and really appreciated her willingness to take time to address my concerns in detail. She was so patient and supportive. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for her.
I would highly recommend this clinic.
