Travel Vaccination Training for Nurses
Course Details:
Providing accurate travel health advice is an important part of protecting travellers from preventable illness and supporting safer international travel. This course explores travel risk assessments, vaccine guidance, malaria prevention, traveller education and current UK travel health recommendations.
The training also covers vulnerable traveller groups, mosquito-borne diseases, legal responsibilities and safe vaccine practice. Poor travel health advice or incomplete risk assessment can place travellers at unnecessary risk and lead to missed opportunities for prevention and education.
In 2024, the UK reported 2,106 malaria cases in returning travellers, the highest number recorded since 2001, highlighting the growing importance of accurate travel health advice, effective risk assessment and up-to-date clinician knowledge.
