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.

If Jo had any other course available I would love to attend! She was amazing! Very personable and learnt more in 2 days than the last 2 years at uni.

I always train through EQUIP - everyone is very helpful and friendly and will always get back to me with any queries or issues.
