Travel medicine is continually evolving and as new diseases emerge it is important that Travel Health professionals are aware of these developments.
Travel, Tropical and Geographical Medicine is an ever growing specialty. Around 2.4 million kiwis travel each year, and Primary Care Practitioners are usually the first port of call.
As global outbreaks occur regularly, vaccine requirements, travel health disease treatment and appropriate medication requirements for travel constantly change, it is vital for Health Professionals to be updated so they can correctly advise their patients
