Travel can be thrilling. It exposes us to new cultures, experiences, people and landscapes. And when travel has a purpose beyond simply enjoyment, it can also be immensely fulfilling.

But travel also exposes us to greater health risks. The weather, food, altitude, stress, or lack of sleep are just some of these risk factors. And so staying well to make the most of the trip, means more than just getting the right vaccinations and medication before you go - it also means having the tools, knowledge and skills to take steps to avoid ill health as you go. This short, self-led online course will help you or members of your team to understand the most common risks and how to avoid them, covering food, water, bites, the environment, stress and more.
