Flying long haul? Your high street holds the smart traveller’s secret

Words: Sarah Jappy

Attention, long-haul explorers and frequent flyers. If you’re heading off to far-flung destinations such as South America, Africa, parts of the Caribbean or Southeast Asia, make travel vaccinations super-easy with Superdrug’s seamless Travel Vaccination Service, all provided by CQC-registered nurse clinics in England and Wales and HIS-registered nurse clinics in Scotland. 

And the benefits go beyond the jabs. As well as making sure you’re getting the right vaccinations for your upcoming trip, Health Clinic consultations can include helpful tips and advice on managing jet lag, and information on malaria and travellers’ diarrhoea risks, including practical avoidance measures – with extra help from an online doctor if there are any concerns about your current health or medications. 

Consider this British stalwart your one-stop shop. In addition to taking advantage of its faff-free Travel Vaccination Service, you can also enjoy stocking up on all the essentials, from mini toiletries to sunscreen, travel pillows, beauty bits and more. To ease you on your way towards your next adventures, here are eight reasons to trust your travel prep to Superdrug…

1) Lots of local stores within reach

Going strong for 60-plus years, Superdrug has nurse-led Health Clinics in more than 90 of its UK stores, so you’ll never have to travel far for your appointment. This also means a healthy choice of appointments – so no long waits or awkward time slots. It couldn’t be easier to book your spot. Just do it online at healthclinics.superdrug.com.

2) Peace of mind, thanks to expert professionals

You’re in safe hands with Superdrug. Depending on which clinic you visit, you’ll be seen by a nurse or a pharmacist so, even if you dread needles, the vaccination process is stress-free. All of Superdrug’s staff are registered with either the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) or the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and attend regular training. Just relax and let them do their thing. 

3) Any confusion cleared up on the spot – with help from an online doctor

Not sure which vaccinations you need? Don’t sweat it. The staff at Superdrug Health Clinics ensure that they offer every visitor the best possible care and advice. If you have a concern about a pre-existing medical condition or are taking any medication, the clinic staff will be able to confirm whether a treatment is suitable for you – even getting an opinion from a doctor, if necessary. Peace of mind is guaranteed.
