Whether you're planning a gap year, business trip, family holiday, or long-term relocation abroad, preparing for the health risks of international travel is a vital step. Unfortunately, many travellers leave it too late or overlook key vaccinations and precautions, putting themselves at avoidable risk.
Sunderland Travel Clinic offers a one-stop service for all things travel health. Based in the North East and serving clients from across Sunderland, Durham, Newcastle, and beyond, the clinic delivers expert, up-to-date medical advice and vaccinations tailored to the traveller’s itinerary, lifestyle, and medical history. Their goal is simple: to help people travel safely, confidently, and fully protected.
Every destination comes with its own set of health risks. Whether it’s mosquito-borne illnesses in South America, waterborne diseases in Southeast Asia, or the risk of Rabies in rural parts of Africa, understanding what to protect against can be overwhelming.
That’s where the travel clinic service at Sunderland Travel Clinic makes a real difference. Each consultation includes a full review of your itinerary, your vaccination history, and any underlying health conditions. This ensures that the travel nurse can recommend only the vaccines and medications you genuinely need.
The clinic offers a comprehensive selection of travel vaccinations including:
Hepatitis A and B – essential for areas with poor sanitation or food hygiene
Typhoid – common in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America
Rabies – recommended for travellers heading to remote areas or spending time around animals
Cholera – useful for humanitarian workers or those travelling during outbreaks
Japanese Encephalitis – for longer stays in rural Asia, especially near rice paddies or standing water
The clinic is also a certified centre for the Yellow Fever vaccine, which is a legal requirement for entry into several African and South American countries. Travellers will receive the necessary international certificate of vaccination, often required at border control.
With quick appointment availability and efficient service, Sunderland Travel Clinic is a practical and trusted choice for travellers on tight schedules.
Good travel health isn’t just about vaccines. Many illnesses picked up abroad are related to food, water, insect bites, heat, or hygiene. That’s why every consultation at Sunderland Travel Clinic also includes detailed travel health advice.
You’ll receive information on how to avoid:
Mosquito-borne diseases such as Dengue Fever, Malaria, and Zika
Traveller’s diarrhoea caused by contaminated food or water
Heat exhaustion and dehydration, especially in desert or tropical regions
Altitude sickness, which can affect those travelling to high-altitude locations in South America or the Himalayas
For those travelling to areas with a risk of malaria, the clinic offers expert guidance and access to anti-malarial medication. They’ll explain the options, side effects, and dosages in detail so that travellers can make informed decisions. Whether you're off on safari, working in remote environments, or backpacking through multiple regions, their advice helps ensure you stay protected for the full duration of your trip.
Not all travel is for pleasure. Many clients visit Sunderland Travel Clinic because they are heading abroad for extended periods due to work, volunteering, or study. These types of trips often carry a higher risk of exposure to disease, particularly in rural or underdeveloped areas.
The clinic regularly supports:
Engineers, technicians, and contractors working on overseas projects
Charity and humanitarian workers volunteering in areas with limited access to healthcare
Academic and research professionals spending extended time in tropical or high-risk zones
Expats and retirees relocating to warmer climates
In these cases, a more advanced vaccination plan may be required. Long-stay travellers are often advised to consider protection against Rabies, Hepatitis B, and Japanese Encephalitis, depending on their environment and lifestyle. The team also offers advice on carrying long-term medication, accessing healthcare abroad, and what to do in the event of an emergency.
With a practical, supportive approach and a clear understanding of occupational risks, Sunderland Travel Clinic is a reliable partner for professionals travelling internationally.
Taking children abroad brings unique health challenges. From toddler immunisations to teen gap year travel, Sunderland Travel Clinic supports families with children’s travel vaccinations, delivered in a calm, friendly environment.
You’ll receive expert advice on:
What vaccines your child needs based on destination and age
How to reduce the risk of bug bites, sunburn, and dehydration
Tips for packing child-safe medical kits and oral rehydration salts
Travelling with babies, including advice on formula safety, sterilising bottles, and managing jet lag
