Air travel with a PICC Line during immunotherapy treatment

Looking for advice regarding air travel from uk to Portugal with my wife who is undergoing immunotherapy & has a PICC LINE fitted

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    As you may be aware, PICC lines need to be cleaned on a regular basis and depending on how long you and your wife will be away, she may need to consider who will clean and dress it  and take the necessary dressings with her. The PICC line will also usually need flushed once a week.

    Probably, the best thing for your wife to do is to speak to her specialist team about this. They can give her advice and show her how to manage her PICC line while she is away.

    We have information on travelling abroad on our website that may be useful to you.

    I hope you and your wife have a lovely holiday. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Celene
