Travel across the world is now so common that it is easy to forget the health risks which can be involved and the fact that very few countries offer such easy access to medical facilities as Britain.

This area of the NHS Choices (formerly the UK Department of Health) website contains advice for travellers about planning ahead, staying healthy and getting treatment elsewhere in the world. Also in this area is information about the E111, UK citizens’ passport to free or reduced-cost emergency care in most other European countries.

The Assistance Travel Service Ltd (ATS Travel) offers a personal Travel Service to the less able, their families and friends. Their policy is to provide programmes for any disability including deafness, blindness, breathing problems or any other disability.

Destinations all over the world and activities include motor racing.
