It’s that time of the year again when everyone is looking forward to the summer holidays. So for those of you that are heading off, Bullen Healthcare has put some travel tips together to help you get organised and prepared for your holiday.

Products

•Appliances – a good guide is to pack twice your normal usage amount and put some in your hand luggage, just in case your suitcase gets delayed

•Radar NKS Key – these keys give you access to over 9,000 disabled toilets in the UK

• If flying then place all liquid items in a clear bag in your hand luggage travel kit to enable to you take them out easily for scanning and security checks

• Keep your Bullen Healthcare Eco Hydra hand sanitiser in your hand luggage.

Medication

• Take your medication list with you when you travel. Keep this document with your travel documents in case you run out of medication while you’re abroad

• Check with the nearest pharmacy if they are able to help. If not, see a local doctor or whether there is a hospital emergency centre nearby

•Keepall medication and drugs in their original containers so that there can be no doubt regarding their content or identity

•Keep receipts from any bought medication. You may need these to claim against your insurance.

Documentation

•Specialist insurance companies (who are experts in medical conditions) can help you understand the small print of the policy

•Shop around for the best quote by using a broker, who can compare the prices for you

• Carry the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with your travel insurance if you are travelling in the European Economic Area. This card allows you to benefit from free or reduced cost medical care in the country you are visiting. If you do have to pay at the time you can claim your money back later.

Health

• Keep a bottle of water with you at all time. You never know when you may need it

• Take rehydration sachets and medicine to treat diarrhoea just in case

• Ice may be made from tap water, so ask for drinks without ice unless you know it’s made from bottled water

• If you’re out in the sun don’t forget your sun tan lotion and hat and avoid the midday sun
