The service is for University staff and specified Non Employee Eligible Groups travelling on University business (e.g. research, conferences or field trips).

In these circumstances advice should be accessed via their GPs or College doctors (see Alternative Travel Arrangements).
The Travel Clinic is held on Monday afternoons in the Occupational Health Department at 10 Parks Road. It is important to plan in advance of travel as immediate appointments cannot be guaranteed and immunisation courses may take time to complete.

Non-Employee Eligible Groups
- Medical students - May attend the Travel Clinic for certain placements abroad, and are required to see the Travel Physician before Elective travel. Do remember that your placements in the UK and your study plans may reduce the time available for you to attend an appointment in time to complete courses of vaccines or paperwork.
- Masters students - Eligibility depends on the content of your course. You are able to attend the Travel Clinic but it may be necessary to pay individually for the necessary consultation, vaccinations and/or antimalarials.
- DPhil students - You are able to attend the Travel Clinic. However, it will be necessary for us to confirm your status as a member of staff, or any arrangement with your department, otherwise any costs as a student, of consultation, vaccinations and/or antimalarials given, may be incurred by you.
- Expeditions - At present, the Expeditions Council requires all official Oxford University expeditions to complete certain medical requirements prior to departure. This includes the appointment of a member to the role of Medical Officer who then attends the Travel Clinic for advice on immunisations and antimalarials. This information is then given to individual members of the expedition who then need to attend their GP or a travel clinic for the necessary consultation, vaccinations and prescriptions for antimalarial drugs. Further information can be obtained from 'Approval'.
Alternative Travel Arrangements
For those not eligible to attend the Travel Clinic it is recommended that advice should be accessed from their GP or College doctor. If there is a time restriction or problems with attending your doctor a private travel clinic may be suitable. The only private travel clinic currently in Oxford is The Oxford Executive Healthcare Travel Faciluty, The Manor Hospital, Beech Road, Headington, Oxford OX3 7RP, telephone number 01865 3767150 or fax 01865 761342.
