Patricia Brady from Travel Health Educate has asked us to share with you an updated Travel Health Vaccine course “Fundamentals of Travel Health in the General Practice Setting”.
The course content was expanded & updated and there has been a slight name change, making it available to a wider group of health professionals. The course currently has Category 1 status and has been awarded 10 CEUs.
As a GPN myself with a Dip in Tropical Nursing, over 30 years experience of delivering travel health in practice & President Elect of the Travel Medicine Society of Ireland, I found that there is no travel health training course specific to the Irish healthcare setting. Through the development of this course, I am seeking to address the needs of Irish GPNs.
Bookings for the course are now available through the Eventbrite website, see link below.
As with previous courses, there will be a limit on the number of course participants (25 persons), to allow for greater group interaction & discussion when presented with case studies. You are receiving priority notification today as you are on our contact list however, the course will be advertised on the Travel Health Educate Facebook group page on Friday morning.
