Quality

Well Travelled Clinics prides itself on the quality of our travel health services. We are world-leading specialists in tropical medicine and travel health and our staff have expert knowledge in preparing people for overseas travel.

All our clinical staff go through a comprehensive in-house training programme, which includes competency based assessment and a written examination.

The travel clinic works closely with staff at the Infectious Diseases Unit at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust (RLBUHT). All our doctors who work in the clinic also have honorary contracts with the RLUBHT.

All our clinical guidelines related to the vaccines and medicines issued by the clinic, are developed and approved in conjunction with the medicines management committee of the RLUBHT.

Because of our unique links to the NHS, Well Travelled Clinic does not have to register separately with the Healthcare Commission, this is because our quality standards are tested and measured by RLBUHT and we are included in any inspections carried out on the infectious diseases unit.

We follow many of the Royal Liverpool's policies and procedures, including their policies for incident reporting and infection control. Senior Management from the Infectious Diseases unit also carry out an annual risk assessment of the travel clinic at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

The advice given at Well Travelled Clinics is based on country-specific information from the National Travel Health Network and Centre, (NaTHNaC). NaTHNaC is funded by the Department of Health to promote clinical standards in travel medicine, NaTHNaC works in partnership with the Health Protection Agency, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Hospital for Tropical Diseases.
