All aboard for the 8th Northern European Conference on Travel Medicine, NECTM8! NECTM8  is the perfect opportunity for travel medicine professionals to learn, interact and get inspired. In our scientific program we will concentrate on the most recent developments in the multi-disciplinary field of travel medicine inspired by the maritime conference theme. The Scientific Committee is planning for three parallel track sessions, incorporating a dedicated nursing track and a general practice track.  We look very much forward to be inspired, engaged and educated together with you all in Rotterdam!
