Travel Health Update

Live Webinar   |   3 hours CPD

Who is this course for:  Nurses, GPs and Pharmacists working in Primary Care

This Travel Health Update is designed for registered healthcare professionals who deliver travel health services within primary care. Therefore, the session offers an evidence‑based refresher on global risk assessment, vaccine‑preventable diseases, malaria prevention, non‑vaccine‑preventable risks and essential health promotion. In addition, it focuses on the practicalities required to lead safe and effective travel consultations.

Throughout the training, delegates will review current malaria guidance and yellow fever recommendations. This update is not NaTHNaC‑accredited, yet it provides clear, clinically relevant information for everyday practice. Furthermore, participants will explore complex itineraries and assess travellers with additional needs. Consequently, they will strengthen their ability to deliver accurate, person‑centred travel health advice.

As the session progresses, learners will refine their approach to global risk assessment, vaccine scheduling, malaria chemoprophylaxis and non‑vaccine‑preventable hazards. Moreover, they will enhance their confidence in advising travellers visiting high‑risk destinations, undertaking long‑term travel or managing multi‑country itineraries.

Following completion, delegates will gain access to Post‑Course Resources. These include links to key clinical tools, evidence‑based guidelines and practical reference materials. Ultimately, these resources support ongoing practice and help maintain safe, effective and up‑to‑date travel health consultations.
