Thank you for visiting the TREC web site.
About us
TREC was established in 2000 and is accredited as an approved travel health education provider by the Royal College of Nursing.
The courses were developed in response to the interest in, and need for accessible travel-health care, education and vaccine information. To date, over 3000 nurses and doctors have attended training events. We have received very positive feedback from previous students and strive to maintain our reputation for providing friendly but informative education.
Travel Health Education - What do we provide?
We provide introductory courses and updates, designed to meet the needs of health professionals involved in the administration of vaccines and in the growing field of health advice for travellers. The courses are suitable for Drs, nurses and pharmacists who are new to this area of health care, but also for those wishing to consolidate knowledge.
Bespoke Training Day for Pharmacists.
We are very aware of the increasing part that our pharmacy colleagues play in the provision of travel health care and advice. To address their specific training needs, TREC has collaborated with a pharmacist who has specialised in this area of health care, and organised a bespoke training day close to London (Sunday 19th August) Please see course information page for further info.
General Immunisation study days.
We also offer general study days designed to refresh immunisation, vaccine and anaphylaxis knowledge, and renew annual CPR skills, in line with the National Minimum Standards for Immunisation Training Guidance. These days focus on national schedule vaccines (not childhood or travel immunisations)
