1. Introduction to Travel Health Course.

The Introduction to Travel Health Course comprises two days learning and follows the curriculum for registered healthcare practitioners as described in the 'Good Practice Guidance for Providing a Travel Health Service' document from the Faculty of Travel Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.  The Ten Point Framework of topics for inclusion describing essential training for travel medicine can be viewed from page 33 of the publication (see the link above). 

This e learning course will take you through these topics, and if you choose to explore all the material, it will increase your knowledge further than a two day face to face training programme would have time for. 

Please note: you have EIGHT weeks to complete the course and explore all the resources within the time allocation to complete this course.  If you complete the training early, you will continue to have access to the training until the expiry date.  

Therefore please purchase the course when you know you are ready to start the training.
