Top tips for a safe holiday

Health and safety on holiday is just as important on holiday as it is in the UK. Health requirements for every country should be made clear in your holiday brochure, or from your travel agent. If you are unsure whether you need vaccinations, particularly for a trip to a developing country, contact your GP well in advance of your travel date. The majority of travellers to Turkey, Greece, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Sweden, Denmark and other worldwide destination return healthy, refreshed and unscathed, but holiday illness can ruin your trip. Good organisation and preparation should prevent you from suffering any major problems on your holiday package tour. Always remember:

1. If you take regular medication, get a good supply from your GP before travelling.

2. Make sure you have plenty of rehydration sachets and medicine for gastric illness and diarrhoea, which are common complaints on holiday.

3. If you think you may need vaccinations, see your GP at least 6 weeks before travelling. If you are unsure about vaccinations, ask advice from your doctor.

4. Check the Department of Health website for any additional information which may be useful about the country you are travelling to.

5. Ensure your medication is legal in the country you are travelling to.

6. Thoroughly check different rules regarding hand baggage and medication with your airline before leaving for the airport.

7. If you are taking regular medication with you, also take a prescription and a letter from your GP

Most important to remember is, if you are travelling to another EU country, make sure you are carrying a European Health Insurance card which means, in the event of a holiday illness or accident, you are covered for health care in: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

Where holiday illness is concerned, prevention is much better than cure. With an increase in budget flights, most European destinations are much more accessible to tourists than they used to be. Along with an increase in holidaymakers comes an increase in holiday accidents and illness. If you suffer a holiday accident or illness abroad, you can now claim compensation from a personal injury solicitor who specialises in holiday illness when you return to the UK.
