Travel Health Promotion
Travel Health Promotion
Your pharmacy might have a health promotion area. It’s a great way to capture attention, engage customers and raise awareness. Travel health is an ideal health promotional activity.
A health promotion will help to spark a conversation with your community and raise awareness of the importance of being safe and healthy during a trip abroad. This is also an opportunity to signpost to your travel vaccination service if it is offered in your pharmacy and link sell products so that all your customers are travel ready.
Numarknet also has a very useful and free downloadable resource called Lets Fly Away. This document contains a lot of information already covered in this training module plus lots of useful information and resource links on setting up a Travel Health promotion campaign and Travel Health private service. This is a good resource to signpost to your pharmacist and / or manager.
There are various areas covered including:
- Key awareness dates throughout the year
- Suggested resources
- Tips on engaging the whole team
- Training
- Setting up a health promotion zone
- Tips on raising awareness
- Signposting
- Replenish resources
