Holiday Traveller

 

We understand the lure of adventure travel. The excitement, the challenge & the novelty involved in tackling an adventurous holiday makes the experience irresistible. But with that experience may also come some health risks, & The Travel Doctor-TMVC can provide the way to avoid or minimize those health risks.

Our priority is to look after you, & help you look after yourself while challenging yourself. Enjoy one-stop service, delivered by staff with the most experience & understanding of adventure travelers needs.

For more than 20 years, we have been learning about what really helps adventure travellers, (and what doesn’t!), & are pleased to offer the following range of services:		  


before you go

• We provide you with individual medical advice on international health risks on a location by location basis, personalised to your itinerary & your activities
• We can offer advice or assessment of any existing medical issues, visa application health checks & provide fitness to travel certificates
• Our clinics have the full range of vaccinations on site. The Travel Doctor-TMVC clinics are World Health Organisation (WHO) approved yellow fever centres
• We provide you with a personal assessment of malaria risk & advice on strategies to prevent insect-borne disease
• We provide all our travellers with written material covering health concerns

while away

• Treat yourself with our customised medical kits for adventure tours. These vary from small individual gastro-packs, to large trekking medical kits.
• If you need medical help while away, we provide information on health service providers abroad associated with The Travel Doctor-TMVC. The overseas service provider is able to liaise with the centre at home.
• We can supply an international directory of local medical facilities & English speaking doctors in many overseas countries
• If you have serious problems while away, we can liaise with international emergency medical evacuation & insurance services.
• Health alerts appear via The Travel Doctor-TMVC website

• We provide all our travellers an opportunity for them to tell us about the health aspects of their travel, & help us provide better services, by inviting them to complete our on-line “Welcome Home” survey
