FREE TRAVEL HEALTH TRAINING FOR NHS STAFF

Overview
This free NHS Pre-Travel Risk Assessment Training Programme introduces GP practices to the TravelDoc™ model developed by Dr Bobby Ahmed. It equips practice nurses with the skills and governance needed to deliver safe, structured, evidence-based pre-travel consultations — reducing clinical risk, improving patient safety, and freeing up GP time.

Who It’s For
NHS Practice Nurses, registered nurses delivering travel health, newly appointed staff, and return-to-practice clinicians needing updated capability.

What’s Covered
A full walkthrough of the TravelDoc™ pre-travel assessment, including traveller and destination risk profiling, vaccine decision-making, malaria assessment, bite-avoidance, documentation, governance, and delivery of a structured 20–30 minute consultation using TRAVAX, NaTHNaC and the Green Book.

Why It Matters
