Introduction into Travel Health

Your role​

  • The main aim of a Travel Health advisor is to protect the health of British travellers
  • With the increase in travel frequency by all ages and ethnicities, there is no formula for Travel Health advisement.
  • Every situation needs to be dealt with on an individual basis to maintain high confidence of customer safety.
  • Travel Health can be practise by anyone associated with a medical profession with no current standardised or mandatory training

The increase in travel trends bestows greater responsibility on the Travel Health profession.

The above figure shows the effects of increasing intercountry connectivity, with increased requirements for personalised and diversified customer safety.
