TrExMed charges a separate appointment fee for an initial consultation. This is so we can spend enough time advising you properly on how to mimimise all relevant travel health risks, rather than merely focussing on the ones which might need a vaccination or drug to prevent.
All return visits to complete a course of vaccinations or for the same trip are included in this initial appointment fee.
We do not believe in 'up-selling' (possibly unnecessary) vaccines in order to make a profit. This would be unethical. However, we do need to charge for our professional time, as well as to cover administrative costs etc. After all, you would hardly expect a garage to charge for parts without labour, when having your car repaired...
Pre-travel appointments
We have a range of appointment options (see below for durations and prices).
Don't worry if you're unsure which one to select at this stage: simply select the 'Book your appointment' button and you will be guided through the online self-booking process.
If your need is urgent and there is no appointment showing for the date and time you prefer, please email us and we shall do our best to fit you in.
We ask all clients for a £25 deposit when making an initial booking, which is offset against your bill on the day. This is to cover our room rental charges in the event of a 'no-show'.
Once you have made the £25 deposit payment (by credit card, collected via PayPal), you should receive an automated email confirmation. Please check your Spam filter and Junk inbox if not.
We may have to ask you to move your appointment slightly to accommodate others and/or to fit in room cleaning gaps between patients, so do please keep an eye on your emails for any changes!

Post-travel investigations
Dr Bond (Jim) sees all the post-travel patients. Due to the wide range of possible travel-related and tropical diseases, appointments for post-travel screening tests and consultations are by (email) request only, so as to ensure that he is the right person to deal with your enquiry.
For more information, especially on zika and bilharzia testing, please click the button below.
FIND OUT MORE >Visa / pre-deployment medicals
Dr Bond is also able to carry out medicals for visa purposes, people going to work abroad and their families.
If requiring a basic medical examination and blood, skin or urine tests only, he can either do this at our Bruntsfield premises during one of our travel clinics, or in another dedicated medicals clinic, which he holds about once a week at Blackford Clinic, Edinburgh, by arrangement.
If additionally requiring chest X-ray, ECG etc., Dr Bond would need to refer you for this to the nearby Nuffield Edinburgh Hospital. If he has your booking details already, he can do this in advance so that they can ideally be arranged on the same day, but this is not guaranteed.
Please scan and email any forms needing to be completed via the link below in the first instance, so that we can advise on price and availability etc.
