Ibiza Direct
Holidays: Useful
Information and Latest News
| Here
at Ibiza Direct Holidays we pride ourselves in keeping our
customers fully informed of the important issues that concern
them and their safety when travelling. We feel it prudent
to advise our customers about the possible connection between
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and flying. According to some circles
there is as yet no proven link between flying and DVT, however,
the simple precautionary steps listed here below could substantially
reduce any risk of DVT and even save lives. If you require
further information, please visit the World Health Organisation
web site at www.who.int
and the Department of Health
website at www.doh.gov.uk/dvt. |
