TRAVEL HEALTH
There is nothing worse than being away from home and getting sick. Reduce the risk by eating healthily and ensure your fitness is up to scratch for the type of holiday you will be taking. No doubt you will be walking a lot more than normal as you visit the sites. Before you travel we always recommend that you seek medical advice. Travelvax is a specialist travel medicine service we recommend. And for those of you doing something a little more off the beaten track, perhaps think about doing a Healthcorp first aid course.
