Your local travel clinic for Monton
We look after Monton travellers from Davyhulme Pharmacy on Canterbury Road in Urmston, just across the Ship Canal. Calm, plain-English advice and the full range of travel jabs in one friendly visit.
We're Urmston Travel Clinic, run from Davyhulme Pharmacy at 179-181 Canterbury Road in Urmston (M41 0SE). Monton sits just to the north of us in Salford, the other side of the Manchester Ship Canal, so although you're technically over the water you're really not far at all. Plenty of people from Monton village and the Eccles side already make the short trip to us before they fly.
There's no need to head into Manchester or sit in a hospital waiting room for your travel jabs. We're a proper neighbourhood pharmacy with a registered travel service, so you get an unhurried chat with someone who knows their stuff and, for most people, the vaccines you need done the same day.
Popular travel vaccines
We offer the full range — here are some of the most requested.
Yellow fever
We're a registered yellow fever centre and can issue your certificate for parts of Africa and South America.
Hepatitis A
One of the jabs we give most often — picked up through contaminated food and water abroad.
Typhoid
Sensible for a lot of trips to South Asia, Africa and parts of the Americas.
Cholera
An oral course that's worth a chat for certain destinations and longer or rural stays.
Getting to us from Monton
By car, the simplest route is to pick up the M60 and come round to junction 9 or 10 for Urmston, then follow the signs through to Davyhulme and Canterbury Road — you'll find us close to Davyhulme Park. If you'd rather stay off the motorway, you can drop down through Eccles and over the Ship Canal towards Barton and Davyhulme, which brings you in from the north. Either way it's a short, easy run from Monton, and there's parking close by so you won't be hunting for a space.

Eccles, just next to Monton, is the end of the Metrolink line, and there are regular buses linking the Eccles and Monton area down towards Urmston and Davyhulme. Urmston rail station is a short journey away too, on the line out of Manchester.
