Travel risk assessment and risk management.
Risk assessment and risk management are fundamental to travel health consultations. Undertaking a comprehensive risk assessment involves gathering information on the traveller and their proposed journey. This information, as well as identifying specific travel-related hazards, should ensure risk-management advice and strategies are appropriate for individuals. This article outlines the principles of risk assessment and risk management in the context of travel health consultations.
