Travel Health Update Course
Travel health is a fast moving field of practice in normal times. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted travel health practice with many practitioners feeling 'rusty' and in need of an update. A new online platform has been created by Travel Health Specialist Nurse Jane Chiodini, to help the learner update, but at their own pace and at a time suitable to them.
The student can also revisit lectures and resources as often as needed, within the timeframe allowed on the platform.
This learning includes over 3 hours of videos with Jane teaching within the platform, some e-Learning, self- assessment questions, and numerous resources, tools, and other exciting learning opportunities.
It is anticipated that the learning would take up to a day of time to study depending on how much you explore all the information and resources.
There is an opportunity to ask questions within the platform and Jane will reply.
Q&As are included in a dedicated ‘Forum’ within the learning resource.
A comprehensive handout is also provided and on completion of the training, a certificate will be issued.
