Aimed at:
This two day Introduction to Travel Health course is intended for registered and regulated health professionals (Registered Nurses, Nursing Associates, Paramedics, Pharmacists) 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.
2 days travel health training is essential followed by a period of supervised practice before providing travel consultations (Section 4 Good Practice Guidance for providing a Travel Health Service) TM_GuidanceDoc 1020 FINAL (HiRes SinglePages).pdf
This course covers the syllabus recommended in appendix C, including 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.
Delegates will require:
• To access course on a computer, laptop, tablet, or iPad with a large screen (i.e. bigger than a phone) with working speakers & microphone
• A separate mobile phone (We use menti.com for the interactive element of the course). The trainer will provide a code for this when the meeting starts.
• A good internet connection
• To be in an environment where you will not be disturbed, as you will need to be present and interacting for the whole course to receive a Certificate of Attendance.
• After the course: you will require a colleague to be your supervising practitioner to help develop your skills in clinical practice and assess your competency prior to you undertaking travel consultations alone.
