This is a basic nationally recognised multidisciplinary qualification for health professionals who practise in the field of travel medicine. Because of the increasing complexity of international travel there is a requirement for a group of health practitioners to obtain special skills in this area. Graduates of the programme will have specific skills to enable them to advise on, and if appropriate, practise safe, effective, and culturally sensitive travel and migrant medicine. The students may come from differing backgrounds (e.g. medical, nursing, pharmacy). As a consequence of this multidisciplinary nature of the course, the graduate will gain an appreciation of the different facets of travel medicine and will learn specific and individual skills with respect to their individual disciplines. The Postgraduate Certificate in Travel Medicine (PGCertTravMed) is available through Distance Learning.
