Keep It Together Care

How to use this guide

Travel Checklist

This checklist helps you check what matters before you book and before you travel with illness, medicines, mobility equipment or assistance. Rules from airlines, borders and insurers change, so always check the official source. It doesn't decide whether someone is fit to travel.

Common questions

Where do I start?
With "The seven checks that matter first", then the Trip Snapshot. Do these before you book.
How do I check medicines for the destination?
Use "Medication & Border Check" and check with the destination country's embassy or official source. Rules differ between countries and change.
Is the pack enough to show someone is fit to fly?
No. Medical clearance is for the airline and the clinical team. The pack helps you gather the questions and the paperwork.
I typed into it, but my answers had gone when I opened it again. Why?
Some previews, such as a browser tab or an email preview, can't save answers in a form. Download the PDF first, open it in a PDF app that supports forms, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, then save.
Is anything I write sent anywhere?
No. The PDF doesn't send your answers to Keep It Together Care or to anyone else. They stay in the file on your device, or on your paper copy.
