Whether you are travelling for work or for pleasure, the right preparation matters.
The vaccines and preventive measures you need depend on where you are going, how long you are staying, what you will be doing, your own medical history, and your current vaccination status. A one-size-fits-all approach does not work for travel health.
At The Wright Practice, Dr Dan provides personalised pre-travel advice based on your specific itinerary and circumstances. He will review your existing immunity, recommend the vaccines most relevant to your trip, and give you clear advice on food and water safety, insect bite prevention, altitude, and how to manage any ongoing health conditions while away.
Hepatitis A Recommended for most destinations outside Northern Europe, North America, and Australasia. A single dose provides protection for up to a year; a booster extends protection to twenty years.
Hepatitis B Recommended for destinations where healthcare standards may be lower, or for travellers with higher exposure risk. A course of three injections is required.
Typhoid Recommended for travel to parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America.
Rabies Recommended for travel to high-risk destinations, extended trips, or travel where access to post-exposure treatment may be limited.
Meningococcal meningitis Recommended for certain destinations including sub-Saharan Africa and Saudi Arabia.
Japanese encephalitis Recommended for extended travel to rural areas of Asia.
Routine boosters Tetanus, diphtheria, and polio boosters are often due if you have not had them recently.
Malaria prevention tablets are also available and prescribed based on your specific destination.
Sexually transmitted infections are a genuine risk for many travellers. If you need advice, a test, or a prescription while travelling, Dr Dan can arrange a telephone or video consultation and provide guidance quickly. Call +44 (0)207 139 1833 from wherever you are.
For patients travelling to destinations where PrEP is appropriate, Dr Dan can prescribe and advise on HIV prevention before departure. Our sexual health services page has more detail.

Wow! Dr. Dan was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to my health and well being. I’m so glad to have found him!
I have been going to Dr Wright for a number of years now. He is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, open minded and efficient, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough
I have been a patient of Doctor Dan for some time and continue to consult with him despite having left the UK. Dan has the enthusiasm and energy of a young man, whilst taking the holistic “physician” approach of an old school family doctor, equipped with the most modern insights and technology.
