About
Event Details
The Course provides a simple introduction for healthcare professionals new to the specialty. Nursing Associates are now encouraged to train in travel health but will need the support of a prescriber. The aim is to give confidence and knowledge which enables delegates to carry out a detailed risk assessment and care management plan for routine travel abroad.
Aims
During this interactive session we will be looking at:
- Vaccine Storage, Administration & Scheduling
- International Health Regulations
- Vector Borne Diseases including Yellow Fever
- Risk Assessment
- Recent changes in travel health practice
- Travel vaccinations
NB: The RCN (2023) published updated guidance on “the current guidelines and standard of care of travellers”. Access to the RCN web page and their document, “Competencies: Travel health nursing: career and competence development” can be found: https://www.rcn.org.uk/Professional-Development/publications/rcn-travel-health-nursing-uk-pub-010-573
Delegates will need to have a Mentor in the Practice who is a registered Healthcare Professional with experience in Travel Medicine who will sign off their knowledge and skill competency after the course through assessment in practice.
