Travel Medicine - Series 1
This is the first special edition of a journal that has focused specifically on Pharmacy Practice
and travel medicine. Pharmacist involvement in delivering travel health services is a relatively new
phenomenon and if a call had gone out for similar publications just ten years ago, there would
have been very few takers. Contained in this edition are a range of articles that examine current
practice by pharmacists in delivering a travel medicine service, with some clearly describing how
such services have developed. Some of these articles have been written by the committee members
of the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) Pharmacists Professional Group and I would
encourage all pharmacists with an interest in this new discipline to join ISTM. Looking at these papers,
there does seem to be a common thread in the process by which pharmacist involvement has grown
so rapidly.
