Travel Health Update for a RCN Webinar

HELLO – this page is just for you!  On 8th January I recorded a webinar for the RCN on a travel health update.  The information was up to date at the time of delivery, but things may have changed since that time so refer to other resources as well, for example NaTHNaC and TRAVAXI will keep this page up for a while, depending on how out of date the webinar becomes, travel is a fast moving area of practice!  

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed designing ‘tools’ and resources for health care professionals to use in their daily practice – created to make the process easier.   When using tools such as vaccine and malaria charts, advice leaflets etc. make sure though that you are always using the latest version. I would ask you to read the copyright and disclaimer statements please.
