Health Protection Scotland (HPS)

HPS Aim

"To work, in partnership with others, to protect the Scottish public from being exposed to hazards which damage their health and to limit any impact on health when such exposures cannot be avoided"

Health Protection Scotland (HPS) took over the functions of the Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health (SCIEH) on 11 November 2004. HPS was among the first to recognise the importance of travel associated ill health and has developed one of the most advanced Travel Medicine centres in Europe.

Part of that includes Travax®, an interactive on-line database of information for health care professionals on the health risks associated with overseas travel.
