This two day Introduction to Travel Health course is intended for registered health professionals (Registered Nurses, Nursing Associates, Paramedics, Pharmacists & GP’s) who may be new to the field of Travel Health, those returning to travel health after a long gap, or for those already practicing who may not have undertaken formal training in the subject and who wish to update and expand on their current knowledge.
https://rcpsg.ac.uk/travel-medicine/good-practice-guidance-for-providing-a-travel-health-service (page 16) was states that 2 days travel health training is essential followed by a period of supervised practice before providing travel consultations. 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.
