As  health  professionals,    we  have  a  duty  of  care  to  ensure  those  choices  are  

well  informed  

The  focus  is  always  on  safety,  managing  risk  and  making  choices  based  on  best  available  evidence  

What  paGents  decide  to  do  (or  not  do)  is  ulGmately  their  choice

What  Travel  Medicine  looks  like  in  pracGce  

The  5  elements  of  a  pre-­‐travel  consulta&on

4   Records  and  documenta@on  (gepng  the  paperwork  right)  

5   Post  travel  advice  (what  to  be  vigilant  for  on  return)
