RCN Competences for Travel Health Nursing

Travel health nursing: career and competence development RCN guidance was republished in September 2012.  This document has been completely updated from the original publication in 2007.  Highlights include a new section providing an overview of travel medicine services in the UK including financial and prescribing issues, an updated resource section and brand new travel risk assessment and travel risk management forms.  The document is an essential tool for all nurses working in travel health and although written for nurses, much the information is equally applicable to doctors and pharmacists working in this field of practice.  Electronic copy is available at http://www.rcn.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/78747/003146.pdf
If you would like a printed copy please e mail me at jane@janechiodini.co.uk providing your name and surgery address.  There is currently a restriction of one per surgery as copies are limited.
