Abstract

Background: Injuries are a common cause of harm to travellers, many of which can be prevented with some simple strategies and prior preparation. While general practitioners (GPs) often focus on immunisation and infectious disease prevention in travel consultations, they are also well-positioned to provide injury prevention advice.  OBJECTIVE: This article aims to describe common injury categories among travellers. These include road injuries, water (and water safety), selfies, drugs and alcohol, and children and older adults. It also offers practical advice for GPs to share with patients to help reduce injury risk.

Discussion: This article outlines common injury risks faced by travellers and highlights the importance of tailored safety advice based on destination, activities and individual health status. The article also emphasises the value of a well-prepared first aid kit and the role of GPs in reinforcing safety behaviours. By incorporating injury prevention into pre-travel consultations, GPs can help reduce harm and potentially save lives.
