| Summary |
"With an increase in foreign travel in recent years, travellers are frequently facing hazards not encountered at home. These hazards range from the climate, the environment, diseases and even the health risks associated with long-distance flights. Pharmacists and other healthcare professionals are increasingly encountering patients with health problems as a consequence of travel and are expected to counsel them on appropriate treatments and preventative measures. 'Travel Medicine for Health Professionals' is an authoritative reference source which offers pharmacists and other healthcare professionals not only background information and treatment guidance, but in-depth coverage of medicines and other health related supplies that might be recommended to travellers overseas." -- Publisher's website |
