Other considerations

It is important for all clinicians who are new to Travel Health to undergo supervised practice in their workplace. We therefore direct you to the ‘Competency Assessment Tool for Travel Health Practitioners’ which can be found in the Travel Health Good Practice Guidelines (RCPSG) for more details

Please also note that PHE recommend a period of supervised practice in addition to comprehensive training when the practitioner is new to immunisation. ‘National Minimum Standards and Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training for Registered Healthcare Practitioners (PHE)

    Overall, I really enjoyed this course as a good solid overview into Travel Health. This is a much more practical and interactive course then others I have completed online which therefore makes it a much more enjoyable experience! I think particularly for those who are new to travel it provides them with everything they need, the resources, tools and knowledge for them to become a competent travel health clinician.

    this took more than double the estimated time on the course CPD

    • Euan Naismith (verified owner)

      Thanks for that feedback Grace. Yes, it is a long course with a lot of information. CPD hours awarded to a course are always difficult to judge with self-paced courses. People take different times to complete it but we will definitely take that into consideration and either look at upping the CPD hours on the course or making some parts of the course optional.

    I wasn’t expecting as much from an online course as this provides. Great explainer videos throughout the training make it entertaining as well as informative. Some really difficult content that is made easy. Great course!!

  15. Emma Hutchinson-Goodey (verified owner)

    I found this a great resource to recap and go over travel again following the face to face training with the educators. It is in helpful sections and flows really well. And can be taken in handy chunks when you have time in your day. Overall, it is an enjoyable and very informative course.
