How to complete your travel health checklist in Wellingborough
We know that with the ever-changing nature of regulations, and after not having travelled for over a year – you may be feeling stressed about planning a trip abroad. Whether you are looking to make up for lost family holidays, or go away on a business trip, we are here to help. We have created this ultimate travel health checklist in Wellingborough, including our services, to help you travel safely and stress-free.
1. Make sure you pack enough SPF
Prolonged sun exposure often leads to sunburn; according to the NHS, this increases your risk of developing skin cancer.
SPF helps to protect the exposed parts of your body from the sun’s harmful effects. Despite popular misconceptions, you can in fact get burnt, even when the weather appears cloudy and you are in the UK. This is why we recommend that you apply SPF daily.
You can visit us for all of your SPF needs, from sunscreens and aftersun to advice surrounding which SPF is right for you.
2. Make sure that your vaccinations are up-to-date
During your travels abroad, you may be exposed to pathogens that your body has not yet developed protection against. This increases the chances of infection with diseases such as Yellow Fever or Hepatitis A. Making sure to have any necessary vaccinations in advance of your trip ensures that you will develop adequate protection against them.
We offer a comprehensive travel clinic, with private consultations containing all of the travel advice, travel essentials and vaccinations you need.
