Health and Safety Advice for Travelling Overseas

Health and safety advice for going abroad

Be ready! Remember that if you get ill or have an accident when on holiday, it could prove dangerous, even fatal. Getting treated can seem complicated to UK residents who are used to the National Health Service. Unless you are properly ready, it could turn out to be an extremely expensive situation.
Get advice about planning for a trip abroad: what to take, insurance advice, getting a consultation with a doctor or dentist, and preparations for your return to the UK.
Get the latest Global health updates and advice about staying healthy and safe whilst travelling.
Get general health and safety advice about about drinking and eating precautions, staying safe outside, major diseases and recommended vaccinations. Gastro-enteritis is very common due to a significant change in diet or perhaps poor hygiene during food preparation / storage.

The UK has reciprocal healthcare agreements with some countries outside the EEA, enabling travellers to receive low cost or even free emergency care. Get advice on receiving treatment in these countries.
Inside the European Economic Area (EEA), free or reduced-cost emergency treatment is available to UK patients on production of an EHIC Card Available from Here.
Get advice on receiving treatment in countries inside the EEA.
In most non-EEA countries, no safety net is in place and travellers are strongly advised to take out comprehensive health insurance. Get advice on receiving treatment in countries with no health care agreements with the UK.
Before you go anywhere, arrange health insurance with a good reputable insurance company , bank or travel agent. People from the UK tend to forget that they may have to pay large amounts of money in medical costs if they fall ill or have an accident outside the UK. This is true even in countries with which the UK has mutual health care deals. – because, even in such cases, the arrangements may not cover all the expenses you can build up. And the cost of bringing a person back to the UK, in the event of illness or death, is never covered, even under the reciprocal arrangements.

If you have a current condition, tell your insurer or you may not be covered by the policy you buy.
Various credit and charge cards give health insurance for travellers. Check that it is adequate for your needs. If not, take out extra cover.
If you are travelling on business, your company will hopefully already have insurance. Please check whether the cover is adequate. If not, take out additional insurance.
If you are driving in any country outside the UK and you have an accident, you may not be covered for medical or hospital expenses. Again consult your insurance company or a motoring organisation before leaving the UK to make sure that you are fully covered by your insurance.
If you were given or have purchased any medicines in another country, it may not be legal to bring them back into the UK. If in doubt, declare them at Customs when you return.
If you were taking anti-malaria tablets on your journey, remember to continue taking them for a month after you return.
If you developed diarrhoea when away or shortly afterwards, and your work involves handling food, tell your employer as soon as possible.
If you become ill on your return, do not forget to tell your doctor that you have been out of the UK, and what countries you have visited or travelled through.
If you have been bitten by an animal or risked catching a sexually transmitted disease, always consult your UK doctor;
If you are a blood donor, always tell the blood transfusion staff if you have travelled outside Europe or if you have had medical treatment in any country outside the UK.
If you had medical treatment abroad, claim on your insurance as soon as possible when you return. Holders of the EHIC should put in a claim for a refund before returning.
Four places where injuries are most likely:
Roads. Injuries sustained can result in simple cuts and bruises, severe head or body injuries or even death.
The Beach. The dangers here include drowning, jet ski accidents (becoming more common and with an increasing number of fatalities) parascending accidents, head and neck injuries, injuries due to heavy surf, and diving accidents. Occurrences of severe sunburn and dehydration are very common, especially due to alcohol.
Hotels. The biggest dangers are balcony falls (often in the early hours of the morning as a result of lack of care or alcohol consumption), swimming pool accidents (slipping on wet tiles and diving in shallow water) which can result in paralysis due to a fractured neck.
Remote locations. Increased travel to far-off places has resulted in a higher chance of contracting tropical diseases.
You can also get advice from your GP or a travel clinic.
