Event Details

Facilitated by Jane Chiodini

Travel Health is a complex field of practice, travelers are visiting further afield and undertaking increasing adventurous activities.  The practice of travel medicine is predominantly undertaken by Practice Nurses in Primary Care settings.  Training is essential and this two-day course is designed to prepare you in the foundations of the subject.  This course is held with a gap between the two days, allowing you time to put some of the learning into practice, then return for more teaching, but also to consolidate day one and discuss any issues you have.
