Occupational Health Service Travel services

The Occupational Health Service can provide individually tailored advice for your travel itinerary and planned activities.

The Occasional Health Service (OHS) is staffed by registered nurses with additional specialist training in travel health.

Travel Vaccinations

What vaccines are available from the Occupational Health Service?

Unfortunately, at present the University Occupational Health Service is unable to offer you any travel vaccinations or anti-malarial prophylaxis. Access to travel vaccinations can be found through the following list of external providers (this list is not exhaustive and clinics hold no affiliation with the University of Edinburgh. Individuals may also wish to contact their own GP):

Travel Clinics – NHS Lothian | Our Services

TrExMed Travel Clinic Edinburgh

Edinburgh Travel Clinic - Vaccinations, Antimalarials and Advice

Travel Clinic — HealthLink 360

Employees continue to be encouraged to submit their travel health assessment forms to Occupational Health and to provide external vaccination information to Occupational health for inclusion into individual OH records.

Please be advised that access to free vaccinations for Revaxis (Diphtheria, tetanus and polio), Typhoid, Hepatitis A and Cholera are available through NHS Lothian travel health clinics (see link above) – if you are already registered in NHS Lothian.

If you have a Travel Health related enquiry, we would encourage contact via email correspondence to:
