Holiday Health- Stay Fit And Enjoy Your Holiday

You have planned it, you are looking forward to it but are you prepared for it?

One of the most important aspects of going on holiday is your holiday health and staying well to enjoy it; a quick trip to your travel nurse at your health centre may well be the best trip you take.

All sorts of unexpected illnesses and diseases may pose a significant threat to your holiday health and can be prevented by following professional advice. Some vaccinations need to be administered between six weeks and six months in advance to be effective, so it is important that you make an early appointment. The nurse will be able to tell you which vaccinations you will require as well as any hygiene precautions you may need to take.

Be sure you take enough of your regular medication with you as well a spare prescription.

If you are due to go on a long haul flight it is a good idea to purchase a pair of well-fitting anti-embolism socks/stockings and ensure you know what exercises to do to prevent DVT.

An essential which you need to take with you when visiting Europe and Switzerland is the EHIC - European Health Insurance Card (formerly E111). The card scheme covers short-term trips not extended stays and is issued to each individual member of a family. It only covers national healthcare as received by residents of the country you are going to. It is valid for 5 years and only available to permanent UK residents. You will still need to take out travel insurance as the EHIC does not cover you for repatriation, expenses or accommodation.

Holiday health and staying well is very important as it is probably one of the biggest purchases we make on a regular basis each year and the disappointment can be high if we fall ill by simply not following some simple rules.
