Travel consultations minimise risks for patients
12 Mar 2024
Providing a travel consultation with your patients minimises the risks which may occur during travel.
The travel consultation aims to:
- assess the traveller’s trip plans and determine potential health hazards
- educate the traveller about anticipated risks and methods for prevention
- prescribe travel vaccinations for preventable diseases and medications for prophylaxis, or self-treatment
If you are not confident providing advice to travellers, particularly about vaccinations, please consider referral to a dedicated travel clinic.
Your patients can visit the NSW Health website for steps to staying healthy when travelling or Health Resource Directory to find more travel health advice resources.
