“…There are several independent associations offering support and qualifications for those working in travel medicine, but to our knowledge, these are not compulsory 24–26. No national UK guideline exists specifically for pretravel advice, although recommendations for practice have been developed 27 28. This may impact on the quality and accessibility of travel advice and is an area that should be further explored to investigate the content and accuracy of information given by primary care or specialist travel clinics and whether they appropriately address the issues relevant to patients with IBD.…”

Background and aimsForeign travel for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) carries an increased risk of travel-related morbidity. There is limited research looking specifically at travel-associated health risks and travel preparation in patients with IBD. The aims of this study are to explore the experience of travel, pretravel preparation undertaken by the patient with IBD and examine IBD healthcare professionals’ (HCP) confidence at providing travel advice and the content of that advice.MethodsA survey of patients with IBD attending an outpatient clinic with a separate online survey sent to IBD HCPs recruited using regional and international network databases.ResultsA total of 132 patients with IBD, Crohn's disease (67/132, 51%), male (60/132, 45%) and 128 HCPs (IBD nurse specialist 113, 88%; IBD physician 15, 12%) completed the questionnaires. IBD affected travel to some extent in 62% (82/132) of patients, and 64% (84/132) had experienced an IBD flare, of whom 64% still travelled overseas during this time. Only 23% (31/132) travellers sought pretravel medical advice and 40% (53/132) obtained travel insurance. Forty-eight per cent of respondents on immunomodulator therapy were unaware of the need to avoid live vaccines. Twenty-seven per cent (34/128) of IBD HCPs are not confident at providing pretravel advice; vaccination advice (54%), obtaining travel insurance (61%) and healthcare abroad (78%) are the areas of most uncertainty.ConclusionsPatients do not seek adequate pretravel advice and consultations for those who do are often deficient. The majority of IBD professionals are not confident to provide comprehensive travel advice. Greater IBD-specific travel education and awareness is needed for both patients with IBD and professionals.

International travels for tourism and business purposes continue to increase annually, while the global terrorism and the risk of lethal viral infections are currently real concerns. It is important that primary care physicians assess travel risk and adequately prepare the prospective traveler for trips. Appropriate vaccines should be administered and an emergency self‐kit recommended. Patient should be educated about safe travel habits and a posttravel follow‐up process established. Further, traveling healthcare professionals may be called upon to assist an ill patient at any time during their journey. In these 2‐part special articles, we provide a practical brief summary of up‐to‐date travel medicine basics for primary care physicians.
