The programme can be started at different points throughout the year, with the opportunity to sit for the final written assessment and final MCQ exam in either May or September each year.
The Diploma in Travel Health (DipTH) is awarded by LSTM as a Professional Diploma that aims to equip new experienced practitioners with knowledge, skills and competencies in travel health.
The programme provides a platform for confident practice through interactive online learning, an opportunity for reflection, and continuing professional development with subject specialists and peers. It is open to registered doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and travel and expedition health professionals who wish to further develop their travel risk assessment and problem-solving skills in clinical practice.
The programme has been jointly developed by the LSTM and the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC), and is delivered through a series of four online modules, each with a corresponding summative assessment, culminating in a final online MCQ exam and online structured knowledge examination (OSKE).
The four modules are:
Travel Vaccination Principles and Practice (TVPP)
Governance and Safety in Travel Health (G&STH)
Malaria Prevention in Travel Health (MPTH)
Hazards in Travel Health (HITH)
The programme can be started at different points throughout the year, with the opportunity to sit for the final written assessment and final MCQ exam in either May or September each year.
The DipTH is based around the successful completion of four core modules plus the four summative assessments must be successfully completed over 6-24 months in order to undertake the OSKE and MCQ exams for award of the diploma. More information can be found on the programme specification which includes details on all assessments.
All components are delivered via on-line distance learning.
