Your travel clinic in Davyhulme
We're your local pharmacy travel clinic for Davyhulme — friendly, plain-English advice and travel vaccines from Davyhulme Pharmacy, just along Canterbury Road in Urmston.
We're a small, friendly travel clinic run from Davyhulme Pharmacy at 179-181 Canterbury Road. The clinic shares its name with the area for a reason — Davyhulme is our home patch, so if you live around Lostock Road, Woodsend, the Trafford General hospital end or down towards Urmston centre, we're very likely your nearest place to sort travel jabs and advice.
Pop in or book ahead and one of our pharmacists will talk through where you're going, what you'll be doing and which vaccines are worth having. No long waits for a GP slot, no trekking into town — most people can get what they need close to home, often in a single visit.
Popular travel vaccines
We offer the full range — here are some of the most requested.
Yellow fever
Required for parts of Africa and South America — and we can issue your official certificate.
Hepatitis A
One of the most common jabs, protecting against a food- and water-borne infection.
Typhoid
Often recommended alongside hepatitis A for trips to Asia, Africa and beyond.
Rabies
Worth considering for remote travel or longer stays far from medical care.
Getting to us from Davyhulme
We're genuinely on your doorstep. From most of Davyhulme it's a short hop down Lostock Road or Canterbury Road to reach us at 179-181 Canterbury Road. Coming from the Trafford General Hospital and Moorside Road side, head towards Urmston centre and we're a couple of minutes away. If you're driving in from further out, the M60 is close by at junctions 9 and 10, and there's parking nearby. Walking or cycling? Most of Davyhulme is an easy stroll or a few minutes on the bike.
Why people in Davyhulme use us
Booking a travel appointment with your GP can mean waiting weeks, and not every practice offers the full range of travel vaccines. As a local pharmacy clinic, we can usually see you quickly and keep things simple. You'll get a proper risk assessment based on your trip, honest advice on what you do and don't need, and the chance to ask all the small questions — malaria tablets, bite avoidance, tummy bugs — without feeling rushed.
Areas we serve around Davyhulme
As well as Davyhulme itself, we're an easy reach for neighbouring Urmston and Flixton, which sit right alongside us, and for people in Stretford and Trafford Park up towards the Trafford Centre. We also see plenty of travellers from across the wider Trafford area, and from just over the Ship Canal in Eccles and Monton. Wherever you're setting off from, if it's convenient to get to Canterbury Road, we'd be glad to help.

We'd always recommend booking so we can set aside enough time for your travel consultation, and some vaccines need ordering in. That said, you're welcome to pop in to ask a quick question — we're a friendly local team.
Ideally four to six weeks before you travel, as some vaccines are given as a course over a few weeks. If your trip is sooner than that, still come and see us — there's usually something worthwhile we can do.
