Why offer a travel health clinic?

Offering a travel health clinic in your pharmacy can offer real benefits for both your customers and your business.

Travel health requirements differ per traveller but we estimate that an annual gross profit of over £6000 can be generated if offering a full travel health service to one customer per month.

Growing demand

Overseas visits by UK residents continues to grow and with more people planning to spend more money on their holidays the travel health continues to be a growing market.

Demand not met

GPs can only provide a limited range of travel vaccinations free of charge on the NHS – additional vaccinations need to be offered privately  and most cases GPs will signpost  these additional requests to alternative providers.

Being located in the local community, pharmacists are ideally positioned to offer this service, having many benefits for your business:

• Increase your recognition as a healthcare provider in the community
• Increase footfall of both existing and new customers
• Generate additional revenue for your pharmacy
