The provision of The Suitcase in TRAVAX allows TRAVAX Users to email travel health information to their travellers.
The source of the travel health information is fitfortravel, the NHS public access website providing travel health information for people travelling abroad from the UK.
The traveller receives an email because they have provided their email address to a TRAVAX User and the TRAVAX User may retain a copy of this email in the traveller's medical records.
Public Health Scotland takes no responsibility for insecure email transmission, this is the responsibility of the data controller, i.e., the TRAVAX User.
The TRAVAX User may include free text within their email to the traveller; Public Health Scotland is not responsible for the accuracy or content of this additional information.
