All of the courses are designed with this in mind. We are more than happy to make any additional arrangements for the Expedition and Wilderness Medicine Doctor, Polar, Jungle, Desert or Diving and Marine Medicine courses.

We expect you to have an average level of fitness.

There are approx. 60 people on the UK EML Doctor course, but you are split into teams of 10/12. There will be approx. 20 on the Polar, Jungle and Desert Medicine courses and 16 on the Diving and Marine Medicine course.

The Expedition and Wilderness Medicine courses are headed by Drs Sean Hudson and Caroline Knox, Expedition Leaders Mark & Karen Hannaford from Across the Divide Expeditions, and Trainer Piers Carter from Red Chameleon, all veterans of innumerable overseas expeditions and supported by an eclectic panel of experts for whom expeditions and the wilderness are a way of life.

The Expedition and Wilderness Medicine Courses attracts a wide range of ages and experience from medical professionals who have a vast experience of expedition medicine. To medical students, paramedics, nurses and advanced first-aiders who have an interest in wilderness and travel medicine. The courses are pitched at a high level but due to the practical nature of the subject, most content can be understood by non-medical professionals.

Our clients have included the BBC, the Brazilian Government, Capital Radio, the Commonweatlh Games, Across the Divide Expeditions and Raleigh International to name but a few. The expedition experience of the directors stretches across over 200 expeditions and to every single continent.
