Prepare for more than the journey.
Heading somewhere remote, travelling at altitude or planning an extended adventure?
First aid training helps you deal with problems when they happen. Good preparation can help you manage your health before you even leave home.
Through our partnership with eMedix, Invenio clients can access UK-based GPs for personalised travel health advice before their trip.
Travel Health Is More Than Vaccinations
Every journey is different. Where you're going, what you're doing, how remote you'll be and your own medical history can all affect what you need to consider.
A consultation with an eMedix doctor can include:
Pre-travel health advice based on your journey and circumstances
Travel vaccinations
Review of existing health conditions and regular medication
Advice around gastrointestinal illness and travellers' diarrhoea
Women's health considerations while travelling
Altitude-related health and medication
Malaria prevention where appropriate
Advice about what medication it may be sensible to carry
Private prescriptions where clinically appropriate
Planning for accessing medical help while overseas
Any medication or prescription is based on an individual consultation and the doctor's clinical judgement.
Medical Support for Remote Adventures
When you're travelling far from immediate medical help, preparation becomes even more important.
A well-planned personal medical kit isn't about carrying a miniature pharmacy. It's about understanding the likely problems, carrying appropriate equipment and medication, and knowing when and how to use them.
This works particularly well alongside our Outdoor First Aid, Outdoor Advanced First Aid and Wilderness First Responder training.
We provide the training and practical skills. eMedix provides independent medical assessment, advice and prescribing.

Dr Jaimy Muijs van de Moer MD, nMRCGP
Business Director, eMedix
Dr Muijs van de Moer has 12 years' experience as a GP with a specialist interest in gynaecology.

She speaks Dutch and German.
Before You Go
Your adventure might take you into the mountains, across borders or simply a long way from the healthcare you're accustomed to.
Preparation means thinking about more than your route and equipment.
Get trained. Get equipped. Get medically prepared.

Medical consultations, clinical advice and prescribing are provided independently by eMedix. Invenio Training Ltd does not provide medical consultations or prescribe medication.
