The Airline Passenger Health for Medical Professionals Course aims to provide healthcare professionals with a structured understanding of the physiological and environmental considerations that underpin safe and comfortable transport by commercial aircraft.  On completing the course participants should be able to:

• Apply an understanding of the physical nature of the atmosphere to physiological changes that occur during flight.​

• Critically evaluate the impact of the airline cabin environment on intending passengers with medical conditions.

• Evaluate the impact of environmental stressors of flight on human physiology and medical conditions.

• Critically assess one's own ability to provide assistance if called upon for an in-flight medical emergency.

• Discuss management strategies for long-haul flying problems such as jet lag, motion sickness, fear of flying and thromboembolism.

• Knowledgeably advise patients about design features and safety systems on modern commercial aircraft that enhance crashworthiness.

This course is designed for healthcare professionals involved in, or preparing to engage with, aeromedical transport and retrieval operations. It is particularly relevant for:

• Allied health practitioners seeking an introductory understanding of flight physiology relevant to airline travel;

• Medical practitioners (general practitioners, GP registrars, physicians, non-GP specialists) seeking an introductory understanding of flight physiology relevant to airline travel;

Health administrators, policy makers, and educators involved in travel medicine or airline operations.
