What do our recent students say?

“After working for a travel medicine doctor for seven years I decided I needed to learn more about this specialty area, so I completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Travel Medicine and have started studying for the postgraduate diploma.

In addition to being able to give vaccines, as prescribed, I can now also educate travellers about how to keep safe while overseas. This is helpful to the doctor as they have limited time to do their travel medicine consult.

I have found distance learning a lot easier than I thought it would be. The tutors use a variety of online tools to teach the course, and it is easy to interact with them and the other students on the course through Zoom conferences and discussion boards. The lecturers and support staff go out of their way to ensure students are supported to get through the course and pass. They respond to questions very quickly and nothing appears to be a problem. All of the staff are passionate about what they do.

The residentials are awesome. I have learned so much from them and they are also a good opportunity to meet fellow students that we have interacted with through the discussion boards.

I would definitely recommend distance study. It may seem daunting to start with, especially if you have not done it before or it has been a long time since last studying, but it does become easier once you get started and there is plenty of technical support if you need it.”

Future of Medicine Conference 2023

The Future of Medicine Conference is a two-day conference aimed to challenge the status quo of our current healthcare system. It offers the latest cutting-edge science, evidence and practice of how to support patients to live longer, healthier lives. It is a convergence of world-leading researchers and practitioners, sharing the latest science and evidence in what the future of medicine looks like, with a tangible shift towards integrative prevention medicine and lifestyle, as treatment for chronic lifestyle disease and mental health challenges. This event is for health professionals and is ideal for continuing professional development.

Restricted leg room can slow the flow of blood even more, particularly when the back of the seat in front is pressing on your shins.
When blood forms clots in the deep veins of the legs, usually the calves, it’s called deep vein thrombosis .
If that clot passes up the veins and to the heart it can become stuck in one the blood vessels supplying the lungs. This can cut off the oxygen supply to the body. This is known as a pulmonary embolism . It can be fatal.

People at risk

Some people have a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis, including:

pregnant women
women taking the pill
people who have had a recent operation
those over 40
people with cardiovascular disease
people with a family history of blood-clotting disorders.

If you fit into any of these categories, you should be extra careful to prevent deep vein thrombosis when you are travelling.

Other things you should know

Passengers flying in first class or business class can also get blood clots in their legs, even though there is more leg room.
Blood clots can form on journeys as short as 3 hours.
Deep vein thrombosis can happen on long bus or train journeys as well as on planes.

If you think you might have a deep vein thrombosis, see your doctor . The symptoms are usually:

swelling on one lower leg
tenderness deep in your calf
the veins under the skin of your lower leg becoming more prominent (darker and raised) and sometimes the skin being dusky compared to the other leg.

Sometimes deep vein thrombosis can affect both legs, and can spread above your knee.

Call Healthline 0800 611 116 if you are unsure what you should do.

You can reduce your chance of deep vein thrombosis by following these tips, especially if you’re in a high risk group.

Try to get a seat with extra leg room, such as one next to an emergency exit.
Drink plenty of water in order to reduce dehydration (which increases the risk of blood clots), especially if you’re drinking alcohol or drinks containing caffeine.
Don't stay in your seat throughout the flight – walk around the plane often. An aisle seat makes this much easier.
While seated, exercise your calf muscles every half-hour by flexing and rotating your ankles for a few minutes.
Sleep only for short periods and don’t take sleeping pills that could keep you motionless in your seat for hours.
Consider wearing support stockings during the flight to reduce the risk of clots.
Avoid wearing tight clothing around your waist.

If you think you have an increased risk of thrombosis and are worried about it, contact your doctor.

Measles is a highly contagious disease that can be life threatening. Right now, there are measles outbreaks happening across the globe. People travelling overseas should make sure they are fully immunised against measles before they go.

Current outbreaks

There are currently measles outbreaks in:

India
Yemen
Somalia
Zimbabwe
Pakistan
Ethiopia
Liberia
Indonesia
Nigeria
Angola

Measles may also be present in other countries as outbreaks continue to affect many different parts of the world. Check the latest travel information and advice for your destination:

List of destinations – Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Travel advisories by destination – Safe Travel

Things you should know about the vaccine

2 doses of the MMR vaccine gives long-lasting protection against measles to at least 98% of people.

MMR vaccination is free for all eligible New Zealand residents .

Ask your doctor, parent, or caregiver if you had your 2 measles vaccinations as a child, or check your Well Child Tamariki Ora or Plunket book. If you're still not sure, play it safe and get an MMR vaccine. There are no safety concerns with having an extra dose, even if there is a chance you’ve already had two doses of the vaccine. When you receive a dose, it will be recorded against your health record.

If there is not enough time before you travel to complete the recommended 2 doses, having even one MMR vaccination before you leave New Zealand will substantially reduce your (or your child’s) risk of getting infected.

You can get your measles vaccination at your doctor, nurse, healthcare provider, or some local pharmacies.

Protecting your children from measles

Japanese encephalitis

There is an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis (JE) in Australia. Information about the outbreak is available on the Australian Government Department of Health website.

Japanese encephalitis is a disease transmitted to humans by mosquitoes infected with the Japanese encephalitis virus. Most infections are asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, but occasionally (less than one percent of cases) it can result in severe disease and/or death. Initial symptoms are usually a sudden onset of fever, headache and vomiting and present about 5 to 15 days after infection. If you develop symptoms, have been in an affected region in Australia and think that you may have been infected with Japanese encephalitis virus, seek urgent medical assistance

Japanese encephalitis virus is not present in New Zealand.

If you are planning to travel to Australia or to another country with diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, the best protection is to avoid mosquito bites.

A vaccine against Japanese encephalitis is available in NZ. However, vaccination needs to be planned in well in advance of the travel with travel health clinics.

Here are polio outbreaks in a number of countries overseas. The current list of polio-infected countries is available on the Global Polio Eradication Initiative website .

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all travellers to polio-affected areas be fully vaccinated against polio. Residents (and visitors for more than 4 weeks) from infected areas should receive an additional dose of OPV or inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) within 4 weeks to 12 months of travel.

The 3 October 2019 statement of the 22nd IHR Emergency Committee Regarding the International Spread of Poliovirus is available on the WHO website .

More information about the situation in infected regions can be found on the WHO website and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative website .

For information about current outbreaks see Ebola updates on the Ministry of Health website.

Bugs like mosquitoes, ticks and tsetse flies can give you diseases when they bite you. While mosquitoes in New Zealand don’t carry diseases, in other countries they can be dangerous.

Wear long, loose fitting, light coloured clothing - ticks and other critters are more easily detected on a light background and tsetse flies are attracted to dark, contrasting colours.

Use a repellent, preferably containing less than 35 percent diethyltoluamide (DEET). Always read the instructions
Apply repellent after sunscreen.

Important repellent information

Use insect repellent, preferably containing diethyltoluamide (DEET). High concentrations of DEET protect better, but concentrations over 35% (about 350 g/L) are not recommended if there is a choice of products available. This is because in rare cases they can cause poisoning. Other products containing 20–25% picaridin (about 200–250 g/L) and those containing about 30% oil of lemon eucalyptus (equating to about 20% para-methane-diol (PMD)) can also be used. Repellents should not be applied to wounds, irritated skin, eyes or mouth.

Note that vitamin B doesn’t prevent mosquito bites.

Stay in places with screens on windows and doors or sleep under mosquito nets.
Use air conditioning or fans if available.
Use insect sprays indoors when mosquitoes are around.
Use mosquito coils.
Stay away from places where mosquitoes are most active or breeding such as stagnant water.
Use zip-up screens on tents.

The Safe Travel website has more detailed information about health risks overseas, including diseases like dengue or malaria that are carried by insects. Check their site for current health alerts.

Bugs to be aware of

Mosquitoes that carry malaria or Japanese encephalitis are more active in the evening and at night. If you’re travelling in an area that has these diseases, be especially vigilant at those times.
Mosquitoes that carry dengue, yellow fever or Zika are more active in the daytime.
Tsetse flies are large flies found in mid-continental Africa, particularly in vegetated areas. Their bite can cause sleeping sickness.
Ticks flourish in warm, humid climates such as the Australian bush. They can carry many diseases.

Instructions

This section provides a summary of the area of practice for this unit and highlights the importance of this topic to general practice and the role of the GP.

Prior to 2020, international travel to and from Australia had become increasingly accessible and was occurring at higher rates than ever before. 1 While international travel decreased because of the global COVID-19 pandemic, it demonstrated the interconnectedness of the world in terms of the spread of infectious disease as well as highlighting international differences in healthcare access and quality. The general practice consultation is the primary environment to discuss prevention strategies for risks associated with travel, either as part of a specific pre-travel consultation or opportunistically, recognising that many individuals will not seek specific health advice prior to travel. 2 General practice is also where many individuals will present with symptoms that have developed during or soon after travel and a careful assessment of these presentations is essential from an individual and public health perspective.

Travel-related risks are not limited to infectious diseases nor to international travel, and it is important that the general practitioner (GP) be able to discuss other potential risks such as altitude and climate extremes, accidents and personal safety, as well as individual risks related to age, pregnancy or underlying health conditions. Many of these risks exist for travel within Australia and there are numerous infectious diseases where epidemiology and risk differ between states and regions. Access to healthcare including screening, treatment and vaccination services may also be more challenging for those residing or travelling through regional, rural and remote Australia. 3 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples face additional challenges travelling both within Australia and internationally where they may be required to navigate unfamiliar health systems as well as language and cultural differences at their destination. 4 Some types of international travel provide increased risks such as medical tourism where travel is undertaken for the purpose of undergoing a medical procedure. 5 Another risk is travel to visit friends and relatives where individuals are less likely to seek pre-travel advice and often undertake more high-risk behaviours related to food and water safety or insect bite prevention. 6 It is a key skill to be able to discuss travel-related behaviours in a culturally sensitive manner as health beliefs and travel risk prevention behaviours are strongly influenced by past experiences and cultural practice.

Prevention or modification of risk for travellers involves the GP being able to discuss individual risk and costs associated with risk management strategies including routine and targeted vaccinations, insect bite prevention, malaria prophylaxis, and other treatment strategies for common illnesses. It is also important to be aware of any potential challenges that may prevent rapid access to healthcare services and the limitations of travel insurance cover. The management of chronic conditions may be more challenging in the context of travel, and discussion of ways to modify this risk is an important part of the pre-travel consultation.

Over recent years the emergence of the Zika virus and the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need for GPs to be aware of new and emerging challenges facing travellers. While new diseases and antimicrobial resistance have become challenges, this has occurred simultaneous to the development of new vaccinations, treatments and evidence-based prevention strategies for other travel-related conditions. Travellers will continue to face issues including dilemmas regarding health equity and ethical tourism, alongside their own individual risk. Travel and travel medicine continues to be a complex and evolving topic in general practice.

This section lists the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are expected of a GP for this contextual unit. These are expressed as measurable learning outcomes, listed in the left column. These learning outcomes align to the core competency outcomes of the seven core units, which are listed in the column on the right.

This section includes tips related to this unit from experienced GPs. This list is in no way exhaustive but gives you tips to consider applying to your practice.

Extension exercise: Speak to your study group or colleagues to see if they have further tips to add to the list.

Travel advice shouldn't be approached as a checklist. You should tailor it to the individual and their risks. Building rapport at the start of the consultation and showing an interest in the planned travel will give you a better idea about the potential risks and help you provide advice tailored to the individual traveller.
Never make assumptions about the type of travel or activities that may be undertaken based on what people do in their usual environment.
Always talk about travel insurance and what it does and doesn't cover. Pregnancy and pre-existing conditions are essential to declare.
Travel-related risks exist even in domestic travel. It is still important to discuss travel and travel-related risks to destinations in Australia, particularly for trips of longer duration, those to more remote destinations, or for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.
Lots of people won't make a specific appointment for a travel consultation. Encourage them to book a long appointment, where possible, and use practice systems to help patients indicate that they are attending for a travel health consultation. However, you might only learn about their travel incidentally at a consultation for another reason, and they may be leaving too soon to book in again. Be prepared to rapidly prioritise travel health strategies in the available consultation time and give patients resources that they can look at afterwards.
Read this example of a common case consultation for this unit in general practice.
Thinking about the case example, reflect on and answer the questions in the table below.

You can do this either on your own or with a study partner or supervisor.

The questions in the table below are ordered according to the RACGP clinical exam assessment areas and domains, to prompt you to think about different aspects of the case example.

Note that these are examples only of questions that may be asked in your assessments.

Extension exercise : Create your own questions or develop a new case to further your learning.

Harry is a single 24-year-old male who is travelling to India to volunteer for three months. He is leaving in one month and presents to discuss vaccinations and malaria advice. He thinks he had all his scheduled childhood vaccinations but doesn't have any documentation. On his way to India, he's planning on spending a week in Bali.

This section has some suggestions for how you can learn this unit. These learning suggestions will help you apply your knowledge to your clinical practice and build your skills and confidence in all of the broader competencies required of a GP.

There are suggestions for activities to do:

on your own
with a supervisor or other colleague
in a small group
with a non-medical person, such as a friend or family member.

Within each learning strategy is a hint about how to self-evaluate your learning in this core unit.

On your own

Identify resources to help you keep up to date with outbreaks or new travel-related risks.

Do these match the ones listed in the learning resources section below? Are they appropriate for Australian travellers?

From your current knowledge, identify travel risks for Southeast Asia, South Pacific/Oceania region, Africa and altitude destinations. Check these risks with the resources you identified above.

What did you forget? How could you find this information quickly next time you need it?

Find out about the dose schedules for vaccine-preventable travel-related conditions.

Which dose schedules or recommended vaccinations differ for different age groups, in pregnancy and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples?
How can you find out what vaccinations people have had previously?

Identify what you find challenging about managing travel health and review webinars or travel textbook chapters on the topic/s.

How will this new information change the way you manage travel presentations?

With a supervisor

Review your clinic processes for travel vaccination, including recording data and entering recalls, and discuss with your supervisor any non-rebatable costs for the patient. Are all vaccinations available in the practice? If not, where would you access them?

Do you have any questions about this process? Have you used this process with a patient yet? Did you identify any difficult parts?

Do some case reviews of travel consultations. Review the cases against the recommended vaccination guidance for the location.

Why might clinical management differ? For example, cost or time before travel.

Present the management of common post-travel illnesses to your supervisor or to medical students in the practice. Discuss how to access required investigations or referrals.

What feedback did you get? What did you learn in the process?

Discuss what you might include or prescribe for use in a travel medical kit and how this might differ depending on the specific travel health risks related to the individual, the destination, and the planned activities. How would you discuss with patients the use of any prescribed medications? Check your list against recommended first aid kit lists from the suggested travel medicine resources.

What did you learn? What can you incorporate into your next consultation?

In a small group

Role-play how you might sensitively explore travel risks with a patient. Consider scenarios with communication challenges, such as discussion of sexual or drug-related risk behaviours or exploring risks in a cultural context. Give feedback to your colleagues about the strategies they used and any communication challenges.

As a group, discuss the approaches used. What are some strategies to talk about travel risks in a sensitive way?

Discuss how the location of a practice can impact access to travel healthcare. Consider rural and remote areas and the difference there may be in getting access to timely vaccination or healthcare for the returned traveller who is unwell. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander travellers may face additional barriers to getting healthcare when they are away from their own home and community. Brainstorm ways to improve healthcare equity and access.

What did you come up with? Can you put these ideas into practice?

Discuss a case that is challenging because of patient or destination factors. Discuss situations where things were handled differently from what is recommended, and how you could approach these situations. Discuss why patients may refuse preventive treatment or prophylaxis. Discuss the recommended management approach and times where that was different, and why.

What advice could you use or what support could you seek if you were faced with a similar situation in practice?
What are the legal requirements in this situation?

Discuss any possible legal requirements when taking medicines overseas.

What is your role as the prescriber?
Set up a travel medication letter template in your medical software that includes information that might be required and check that it includes all the necessary information.

With a friend or family member

With a friend, discuss travel destinations they have visited and what activities they did and any risks that they were aware of. Did they have travel insurance? How did they make that choice? Ask about what healthcare was available, especially if they were unwell or injured while away, and any differences from the Australian healthcare system. Ask about what access they had to health advice and vaccination before they travelled.

How does knowing about the type of travel and planned activities influence the way you could give advice to a patient before travel?

Discuss a dream holiday destination and consider how you would plan to make your trip a safe one. Talk about any costs you might expect as part of your preparation for a healthy trip and what the costs are.

If the budget was limited, which costs would you prioritise?

Practise discussing food and water safety or insect-bite prevention and explain the risks and relevant illnesses using non-medical language.

What prevention strategies did you find the most difficult to explain in non-medical language?
Review how these prevention strategies are explained in patient resources. What changes could you make to your explanation?

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rapid increase in international travel. Travel medicine is a branch of preventive medicine focusing on risk assessment pre-travel, during travel and post-travel with the aim of promoting health and preventing adverse health outcomes. Travel medicine specialists inform travelers about potential health risks and mitigate infectious disease risks such as travelers’ diarrhea, yellow fever, and malaria. Travel medicine topics were popular in the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene conferences between 2016 and 2020, and now comprise approximately 2% of all presentations. Most topics related to the post-travel assessment (50%), followed by diseases contracted during travel (26%), and pre-travel assessment and consultation (24%). Our analysis of the 10 sub-domains of travel medicine issues found that malaria (26%) and immunization (12%) were represented to the greatest extent. We anticipate that both travel and tropical medicine fields will regain their popularity after recovery from the pandemic.

Over the last few decades, the volume of international travel has greatly increased. 1 This increasing globalization in travel increases the risk of travel-related illnesses and the need for triage and assessment of ill returned travelers. There is now increasing movement of people all around the world in all directions, and these changes might result in new geographic patterns of infectious disease transmission, including tropical infections such as dengue and Zika virus. 2 In addition, data on travel numbers are used to forecast demand for immunizations and pre-travel consultations. As a consequence, health care practitioners, including travel medicine specialists, must appropriately advise travelers about these potential risks. Travel medicine is a dynamic and growing specialization that focuses on pre-travel preventative care, illness occurring during travel, and diseases presenting in the returned traveler. The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH), established in 1903, is the world’s largest scientific organization of professionals committed to reducing the global burden of tropical infectious illnesses and improving global health. ASTMH holds an annual conference with a multidisciplinary delegate attendance profile. This study examines the extent to which travel medicine knowledge is disseminated at ASTMH conferences in an attempt to better understand the linkages between these two fields of clinical and research activity.

We analyzed the content of all oral and poster presentations delivered at ASTMH conferences from 2016 through 2020 to determine the temporal trends and educational emphasis placed on travel medicine. Data were retrieved from the past meetings archives on the ASTMH website. 3 The travel medicine relevance of invited presentations and research posters and oral sessions was determined by screening their titles and abstracts. Presentations were assigned to two categories: travel and non-travel. The travel categories were separated into three domains: 1) pre-travel assessment and consultation; 2) diseases contracted during travel; and 3) post-travel assessment. 4 There were 196 topics which were subcategorized into 10 sub-domains including vaccines, malaria, arthropod-borne diseases, parasite, respiratory tract infections, skin infection in travelers, travelers’ diarrhea, immunocompromising conditions, and fever. When a single presentation contained material that reflected more than one sub-domain, it was assigned to multiple sub-domains. When sub-domains categorizing a presentation were not available, the presentation was assigned to the others category.

The scientific program content of the five most recent ASTMH conferences was classified into three domains and 10 sub-domains. A total of 2,918 oral presentations and 9,746 poster presentations were analyzed. Pre-travel assessment and consultation was the most frequently represented domain in the oral presentations, with 44% of presentations ( N = 23), followed by diseases contracted during travel with 33% ( N = 17). The post-travel assessment domain included the fewest presentations (23%, N = 12). Among the poster presentations, the most frequently represented domain was post-travel assessment, with 58% of presentations ( N = 104), followed by diseases contracted during travel with 24% ( N = 42), and pre-travel assessment and consultation, with 18% ( N = 32).

Between 2016 and 2020, the number of travel medicine topics discussed at ASTMH conferences increased. Travel-related oral presentations presented at the ASTMH meeting have increased to the greatest extent over time, from three in 2016 to 15 in 2020. While the poster presentations showed a decrease in travel medicine emphasis initially, oral presentations showed an increase in travel medicine content throughout the period. As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, poster presentations related to the travel health increased to 39 topics in 2019 before declining to 18 topics in 2020 (Figure (Figure2). 2 ). Travel medicine was estimated to account for around 2% of all presentations at each year’s ASTMH meeting (Figure (Figure1). 1 ). Our analysis of the 10 sub-domains of travel medicine issues discussed at the ASTM meeting (Figure (Figure3) 3 ) found that the most frequently presented subjects related to malaria infection (26%, N = 51), followed by immunization (12%, N = 24), arthropod-borne disease (12%, N = 23), and other topics such as parasitic disease (8%, N = 16), food and water-borne disease such as travelers’ diarrhea (7%, N = 13), fever (5%, N = 9), skin infection in travelers (3%, N = 5), respiratory tract infections (1%, N = 3), and others (26%, N = 52) such as general refugee health, travel clinic practices, and other specific infectious disease.

Additionally, the most frequently presented topics were malaria and vaccines, with 51 and 24 topics, respectively. It is notable that the number of topics in the malaria infection sub-domain increased dramatically in 2019. According to WHO, an estimated 229 million malaria cases were reported in 87 malaria-endemic countries in 2019, with 94% occurring in the WHO Africa Region. 5 The number of malaria episodes in 2019 significantly expanded in Central, Latin America, Central Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa, and Western Sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, temperature increases and changes in rainfall patterns have also resulted in an extended malaria season in several Sub-Saharan African locations. 6 The increase from the 228 million malaria cases reported in 2018 7 and the trends in malaria incidence in 204 countries from 1990 to 2019 show a dramatic increase in malaria from 2015 to 2019 and demonstrate that the efforts to control or eradicate malaria remain challenging. 8

The overlap between practice and research in travel and tropical medicine is considerable and a strong working knowledge of tropical infectious disease epidemiology, clinical presentation and prevention is required in the practice of travel medicine. Bibliometric analyses of articles published in leading travel medicine journals found that the highest proportion of published material addressed pre-travel assessment and diseases contracted during travel. 9 , 10 Articles relating to infectious diseases acquired by the traveler outnumbered noncommunicable diseases 7-fold in one of the journals studied. 9 The present study is limited by its focus on a single albeit major international tropical medicine conference and by the fact that there may have been some travel medicine content in ostensibly non-travel-related presentations since only presentation or poster titles or abstracts were available for analysis.

Our descriptive content analysis of oral and poster presentations at ASTMH conferences over the last 5 years sheds light on the dissemination of travel medicine knowledge to the tropical medicine academic and clinical community. COVID-19 has raised awareness of the role of travel in the spread and control of highly infectious viral diseases. 11 We predict an even closer integration of travel medicine and tropical medicine in the future with powerful joint educational events and reciprocal conference attendance by clinicians in these respective fields. We propose to repeat our conference analysis at 5-yearly intervals to track progress toward the closer integration of travel and tropical medicine.

Travel clinics not all flying high

[email protected]

Travel medicine has taken off for one chain since the lifting of COVID-19 travel restrictions, but recovery is more muted for others.

At Worldwise, senior nurse Marion Howie says there has been huge demand since the managed-isolation requirement was abandoned.

“I’m surprised how quickly it has taken off,” Ms Howie says. “It’s left us struggling with staffing.”

She says the branches are “swamped” with appointments booked days ahead: “Last year was very tough on us all, but we are starting to get specks of hope.”

Worldwise has clinics in Auckland, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Whanganui, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch.

Ms Howie works Tuesday mornings in Auckland and on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Worldwise’s Wellington clinic, which opened in October 2020. That clinic earlier this year moved from a cupboard-sized room in a pharmacy on Cuba Mall to a three consultation-room suite on The Terrace.

A grand opening was planned but there has been no time or energy for the celebration, says Ms Howie.

She expects the Wellington service will open more than two days a week soon, but says it’s difficult to find staff with a love of both travel and medicine.

“It’s a niche discipline but is fascinating,” says Ms Howie.

Patients heading overseas include young couples off to America, Asia and Africa, animal-sanctuary volunteers, English teachers and people reconnecting with friends and family. Many require yellow-fever vaccinations.

Police are starting to travel for meetings and training courses again, she says.

The bounce-back at Travel Clinic North Shore in Auckland is slower. Owner Anwar Hoosen says the clinic was busy at the start of the pandemic, helping people return to their home countries and preparing fit-to-fly letters. However, it is now only about half as busy as before COVID-19 hit.

Dr Hoosen says there is a perception travel has really picked up, but that is because any travel is well publicised.

Flight and airport disruptions, geopolitical tensions, Zoom meetings instead of business trips and the threat of new COVID variants and lockdowns are all stalling the travel industry, he says. “We won’t see any meaningful recovery this year – maybe next year.”

It’s a similar story for specialist GP Manisha Saini, who works at Hamilton East Medical Centre. Activity has picked up and Dr Saini is busy fitting travellers around her regular patients.

However, before the pandemic, she and another doctor were both fully booked all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays for travel consultations. That doctor retired during the pandemic and Dr Saini is only doing about four travel appointments a week.

She enjoys the work: “They’re not grumpy because they had to come to the doctor, they’re actually excited.”

Patients tell her about their plans to see gorillas in Africa, and trips to Brazil, Machu Pichu in Peru, and Asia. One couple is doing a two-year trip around the world. Dr Saini is from India and hasn’t been home in three years: “I’m amazed people are brave and ready to go,” she says.

Getting enough travel vaccines can be tricky. She says they don’t want to keep too many on hand in case they’re not used, because of uncertainty around the pandemic.
