Travellers' diarrhoea consultation
Talk through your destination, plans, and symptoms to get practical prevention advice and next-step guidance.
- Feel more confident about eating, drinking, and day-to-day choices while away

- Know when to self-care and when to seek in-person medical help while travelling
- Get clear, personalised advice you can follow during your trip
When to book and how many doses
Book travel vaccinations at least 4–8 weeks before departure where possible. Some vaccines need two or three doses spaced weeks apart — we confirm the schedule for your destination during your consultation. For urgent travel, contact us and we will advise what can still be completed in time.
Consultation fees are payable when you attend (£30). We do not take payment online at booking unless a specific service states otherwise.
Destination-specific guidance
Advice tailored to where you are going, how long you are away for, and the type of trip you have planned.
Simple self-care plan
Clear steps you can follow, including hydration tips, food choices, and how to reduce the chance of passing bugs on.
Next steps made clear
Understand what to do if symptoms change, don’t settle, or you need additional support while you are away.
What this involves
You will be asked about your travel plans, what you have eaten and drunk, and how your symptoms are affecting you. You will receive practical advice on hydration, food choices, and reducing spread to others. You will leave with a clear self-care plan and guidance on what changes should prompt you to seek in-person medical help while travelling.
Efficient and focused
The discussion is kept practical and centred on actions you can take straight away.
Prevention and recovery
Support includes ways to lower your risk on future days of the trip as well as what to do now.
