Réseau et Centre National de Santé de Voyage (NaTHNaC)
NaTHNaC was set up by the Department of Health in 2002 with the broad aim of 'Protecting the Health of British Travellers'. They seek to improve the quality of travel health advice given by GP practices, travel clinics, pharmacies and other healthcare providers, and provide up to date and reliable information for the international traveller, travel industry and national government.
They are commissioned by Agence de sécurité sanitaire du Royaume-Uni and hosted by Trust de la Fondation NHS des Hôpitaux de l'University College London (UCLH); we also work in partnership with our other network founders École de médecine tropicale de Liverpool (LSTM), London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Hôpital des Maladies Tropicales (HTD). The network partners and Department of Health provide strategic guidance to NaTHNaC through representation on a Technical Advisory Group which meets quarterly.
