Welcome to my Blog

It's day one of blogging for me.  Travel medicine I know but blogging . . . .  not so much.  As I get to grips with it, my blog will hopefully be a place where you can get an insight into what goes on at The Travel Clinic.  The clinic is a busy place and I know that people often wonder what I do and why a traveller would come and see me before their trip.  I'll be able to share with you some of the amazing itineraries, quandaries and dilemmas that crop up and perhaps answer some of your 'wonderings' along the way.

If there are subjects or specific areas  that you would like to see covered please get in touch and let me know.

Why Use the Travel Clinic at Glasgow Airport

So Welcome to The Travel Clinic Glasgow

I am keen to keep you updated with current travel information to keep you safe whilst you travel for business or pleasure.   Working closely with Companies, Doctor Surgeries and Travel Professionals we are the recommended choice for travel vaccinations.

So who am I?

I am Clare Henderson of the travel clinic Glasgow (the one in the middle of the picture)

My Qualifications:

I am a registered general nurse and have been nursing for 21 years .  I have been practicing travel medicine for the last 10 of those years.  I have undertaken extensive training in travel medicine and have an internationally recognised and highly specialised  diploma awarded by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons (Glasgow).  In fact all of our team here at Glasgow Airport have also completed and been awarded this diploma. 

So Why use the Travel Clinic Glasgow?

Well it's simple...

• You receive advice from a professional that is extensively trained in travel medicine  
• Our appointments are 30 minutes in length (longer for more complicated itineraries) 
• Our advice is specific to your trip and not a generalised recommendation
• We have an extensive stock of vaccines and anti-malarial medication 
• We can administer vaccines and anti-malarial tablets at the initial visit (so no need to have several appointments)
• It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain vaccines on the NHS and GP surgeries as often they  require that you see them several weeks in advance of a trip
• The vaccines that are available on the NHS are limited and the majority of travel vaccines will need to be obtained privately 
• We can accommodate appointments at short notice with evening and early morning appointments also being available.  
• We also provide reminders when vaccines boosters are due 
• An often overlooked but essential part of travel medicine is the advice that helps to protect your health when you are abroad  
• The majority of diseases and risks are not preventable by having a vaccine and a big part of a consultation with us is that we also provide information on how these risks can be minimised 

Some little extras:

We offer Free customer parking

You can keep in contact with us while you are abroad by email

We can attend a workplace to vaccinate

Group bookings are welcome

Vaccine record cards routinely provided
