Pharmacist Run Travel Clinic

Arrive Ready. Come Home Rested.

Holidays shouldn't be shaped around your period, jet lag, or the worry of malaria. Our pharmacists sort the whole travel checklist in one private visit - including the prescription-only bits you can't get off the shelf.

Period Delay

Don't Plan Your Holiday Around Your Period

You've booked the trip, the pool and the sunshine. So we can make sure your period doesn't land in the middle of it. A short course of tablets can safely delay your period for the dates you need - so you can fully enjoy your holidays on your terms.

Our pharmacists assess and supply period delay under a Patient Group Direction, following a private consultation. It's a well-established option for holidays, weddings, exams, and events.

Timing matters

  • Come in a few weeks before you travel so there's plenty of time to start the course correctly.

  • It isn't suitable for everyone - we'll check your history and other medicines first.

  • Clear written instructions for exactly when to start and stop.

How treatment helps

Your body releases a natural sleep hormone to signal that it's time to sleep. Crossing time zones throws that signal out of sync - which is exactly what jet lag is. The treatment we supply helps reset it.

Before you fly - start shifting your sleep pattern

At your destination - reset your body clock faster

On the way home - ease back into UK time

We'll talk through timing and dose, plus practical things that make a real difference - light exposure, meal times and naps.

Treat & Prevent

Beat Jet Lag, Both Ways

Losing the first three days of a trip to exhaustion - or coming home a wreck - is avoidable. We can supply a treatment to both treat and prevent jet lag, so your body clock catches up with your itinerary instead of the other way round.

Our pharmacists will check it's appropriate for you, explain exactly when to take it relative to your flight times, and supply the right amount for your journey.

Malaria Prophylaxis

The Right Tablets for the Right Map

Malaria prevention isn't one-size-fits-all. The correct choice depends on where you're going, when you're going, how long for, and your own medical history. Getting it wrong is worse than not taking it at all.

We'll match the medicine to your destination, check interactions with anything else you take, and make sure you understand when to start and stop - including the days after you're home, which people often forget.

Destination-matched

Based on current malaria risk for your specific region and season.

Checked against your medicines

We screen for interactions and suitability before supply.

Bite prevention too

Tablets are only part of it - repellents, nets and clothing advice included.

What we'll ask you

  • Where exactly you're travelling, and in which season
  • How long you'll be away, and whether you'll be in cities or rural areas
  • Any medicines you take regularly, and known allergies
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or plans to conceive
  • Any history of mental health conditions - some tablets aren't suitable

Come in 2–3 weeks before you fly - some tablets need to be started several days before departure.
