Essential Intervention: The Pharmacist's Expanding Role in Travel Medicine
July 2010
Travel Medicine
The role of pharmacists continues to evolve with initiatives to provide immunizations (in British Columbia, Alberta, New Brunswick, with other provinces to follow) as well as opportunities to prescribe. Both these roles open up the possibility for pharmacist-directed provision of travel medicine services. The number of international tourist arrivals worldwide continues to grow at an impressive rate, rising from 50 million in 1950 to 842 million in 2006. The increased number of travellers, along with the decreased time it takes to circumnavigate the globe (now 36 hours) has resulted in more travel to remote locations. These facts highlight the importance for pharmacists to educate themselves to be able to provide comprehensive pre-travel risk assessment, pre-travel education and counselling on the self-treatment of ailments that occur commonly while abroad.
