About Course

If you take regular medicines, a little planning makes travelling abroad much smoother. This course follows guidance from the UK’s National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) and GOV.UK: checking the rules at your destination, how much to take, packing and paperwork, controlled drugs, and what to do if something goes wrong while you are away.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information for older people and their families. It is not medical advice – always follow the advice of your doctor or pharmacist and check the rules for your destination before you travel.
