Travel Clinic
Here at Warders we run a MASTA (Medical Advisory Service for Travellers Abroad) Travel Clinic. Although this is a private service some of what we do in the clinic is offered free to our own patients. All our clinic staff have been trained in travel medicine and we are linked via our computer network to the MASTA database, which gives us access to the most up to date information available. We also stock a full range of mosquito nets, tropical insect repellents, sterile packs, creams and sun blocks, water purifiers etc. Anti-malarial tablets are also available through the travel clinic. Our travel clinic is open on Mondays 3.00pm-5.00pm,Tuesdays from 4.00pm-8.30pm and Fridays from 10.00am - 1.30pm
