This short course will focus on:
-Pre-travel health risk assessment
-Travel vaccines and the principles of immunisation, including vaccination schedules, along with hot topics and sources of information pertinent to travel health
-Infectious diseases including food and water borne diseases, malaria and mosquito borne diseases plus pre and post rabies management.
The study day is delivered in line with the 2018 Royal College of Nurses Competencies in Travel Health.
I think this course has met a very high standard and fulfilled the criteria. It will update your skills and provide good informative information to aid in risk assessment.
