Course information

Travel Health Specialist Nurse Jane Chiodini has developed an Introduction to Travel Health eLearning course. The study takes a minimum of two full days to study. However, this can be done at a time to suit you, over a period of six weeks.

The Introduction to Travel Health Course follows the curriculum described in the ‘Good Practice Guidance for Providing a Travel Health Service‘ document. This was published in October 2020 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.

Course content

The course objectives of the Introduction to Travel Health are to:

• Provide you with a basic knowledge for the key aspects within a travel consultation
• Raise your awareness of the complexity of travel medicine practice
• Increase your confidence to gain control within a travel consultation, whilst recognising the levels of competence required to deliver good care
• Lead you to further tools and resources to use within your practice, thus enhancing your knowledge and learning

The course comprises 15 hours of learning, but you will have 4 weeks in which to complete it.
If you finish before this timescale, you continue to have access to the platform until the date of
expiry.
The opportunity to ask questions and engage with an online forum to answer your questions is
available, but no online meetings are required for this course – you can study it at your own pace
when it suits you.
There is also a facility to email Jane directly within the platform if you have any queries arising from
the training and will receive a personal email reply back within 3 working days.
A certificate of completion for 8 hours of learning will be issued at the end of the course.
