https://rcpsg.ac.uk/travel-medicine/good-practice-guidance-for-providing-a-travel-health-service (page 16) states that after the completion of the 2 days Travel Health Training Course it is essential that it is followed by a period of supervised practice before providing travel consultations, when signing up for this course please bare this in mind.
The 2 day Introduction to travel health course covers the syllabus recommended in appendix C, including covid-19 and travel, risk assessment, travel vaccines, non-vaccine preventable illnesses, malaria, professional issues, and the latest developments in travel health.
When delegates have completed the course, it is recommended that they have a period of supervision in clinical practice whilst they develop their clinical skills and are assessed by their supervising practitioner as competent to undertake a travel consultation.
