Last updated 17th January 2012
TREC has now been established for over 10 years and is accredited as an approved course by the Royal College of Nursing. It was developed by Sheila Hall, in response to the interest in, and need for accessible travel-health care, education and vaccine information.
We provide introductory courses and updates, designed to meet the needs of doctors and nurses involved in the administration of vaccines and in the growing field of health advice for travellers.
TREC was established in January 2000 and to date, almost 2500 nurses and doctors have attended our 2 Day Course. We have received some very positive feedback from previous students and strive to maintain our reputation for providing a friendly but informative course.

so please apply as soon as possible to guarantee a place.
