Your GP will give you a NHS prescription for malarone and will probably be as cheap as anywhere else to get the yellow fever jab. When I researched this last year I found that my GP was probably the best option; no more expensive than anywhere else for the yellow fever injection and NHS charges for the malarone which meant the children's were free.
Definitely via GP surgery (usually practice nurse) for the Malarone if your practice provides this service. In Southwark I think you still get this for the price of a normal prescription. In other parts of the country and from private clinics it costs about ?2.50 per tablet.

Theres a sign up in my surgery (forest hill rd) saying the PCT (which covers all Southwark surgeries) have stopped doing malarone on nhs prescription but will issue private prescription for it (approx ?80 for 2 wk course).


Would guess GP would be cheapest even with private px as their not going to be making a profit from this - unlike a private travel clinic which I'd expect would charge you for consultation as well. Probably worth enquiring at GP about yellow fever jab as well before looking at private alternatives.

    • We need to build houses for social rent. Not 'affordable housing' (which is a euphemism for housing that is completely unaffordable to most) - actual council housing.  Taxes do need to go up. We have to stabilise public services and start paying down our national debt to break free of the sway bond markets have over UK governments freedom to act. We are probably all going to have to work longer too. The original UK state pension was there to help those who often had been in physically demanding manual or labouring jobs. The retirement age was set above average life expectancy at the time; It was not designed for a population of mainly white collar workers people to spend one-quarter, to one-third of their adult life in retirement. I know that may sound harsh, and I certainly don't want to work forever, but the fact is that we have an aging population and a diminishing tax base, and no politician who is willing to make fundamental reforms. Mostly we need to grow, and that means at some point, addressing our relationship with the world's largest trading block right on our doorstep. The damage done by Brexit has been crazy. The fact that it's chief architect has managed to come up smelling of roses and may potentially be our next PM is just mind blowing to me.
    • Mice will eat *anything*! That shop had a couple of very low food hygiene ratings over the years (and it was closed for "refurbishment" for a while which was obviously the first attempt to deal with the pest problem) so I'm not surprised by that article. You'd hope that pest control would have dealt with the majority of them...
    • Makes me wonder where the mice will have gone since it closed down. 
    • Carnivorous mice? Jeez!
