Vaccinations, Antimalarials, Supplies and Travel Health Advice
Before your staff travel we recommend a visit to InterHealth for a Travel Health Consultation.
Our specialist Travel Clinic is located in central London and runs a vaccination and travel advice service for short-term and long-term travellers and volunteers going abroad.
All vaccinations are available from InterHealth and we are able to provide individuals with up-to-the minute recommendations on vaccines and antimalarials from our specialist travel health databases.
In our Travel Health consultation, our nurses take care to discuss important health issues associated with volunteering, advising how the volunteer can maximise their chances of staying well. Our nurses give recommendations on immunisations and antimalarials tailored to the specific needs of the traveller. All immunisations are available at InterHealth though we usually recommend that those available on the NHS are given by the GP when time allows.
A wide range of travel health supplies are available on site or by ordering on-line, including tablets for malaria prevention and treatment. Volunteers and expeditioners are encouraged to order a copy of the Pocket Travel Health Guide.
All your essentials for global travel
Our TravelShop provides access to a wide range of travel supplies and equipment that can be purchased online or from our clinic in Waterloo, London. We stock mosquito nets, travel health guides, sleeping bags, sun protection and personal medicines and tablets for malaria.
Visit our online TravelShop (to order any medicines you need to be a TravelWell Plan subscriber).
Medicines and supplies can be dispatched worldwide from InterHealth.
Medicals for UK staff/frequent travellers
InterHealth offers comprehensive medical check-ups for headquarters staff, especially those who travel abroad frequently or are in senior management. The Medical MOT (for men) and Wellness Medical (for women) gives a unique opportunity to discuss any health problems with a sympathetic doctor. In our experience such people often neglect their own health, and we often find a variety of health issues which clients are relieved to have an opportunity to discuss. This is also an opportunity for a free travel health consultation to make sure they are as well prepared for travel as the volunteers they are responsible for.

First Aid Courses in partnership with The British Red Cross
Testimonial
"The First Aid course was excellent and beyond my expectations in terms of content, presentation and opportunities to interact with what was being taught. It provided not only a first aid refresher but some hugely useful ideas for overseas work which I've never come across in regular first aid courses in the UK."
