This session is the third in a series of sessions about travel advice for patients and provides a broad overview of the issues GPs must consider when advising and assessing patients who are returning travellers.
This session was reviewed by Khyati Bakhai and last updated in October 2020.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Appropriately assess and investigate travellers returning from abroad with illness
- Distinguish between the most commonly occurring causes of fever, gastro-intestinal disorders and rashes in returning travellers
- Identify long term health issues related to travel
The most common reasons for returning travellers to attend their general practitioner (GP) are gastro-intestinal problems, fever or rashes.
Nick works in general practice in Midsomer Norton, Somerset.
He developed an interest in travel-related disease whilst on a year-long sabbatical in 1995 during which he contracted dengue fever. He went on to write the Rough Guide to Travel Health and has subsequently written numerous articles on travel health for both the medical and lay press.
Nick is a content author for the e-LfH programme.
