Expedition medicine offers an exciting opportunity to combine your medical skills with travel, field research and exploration. This gathering is intended to share experiences and encourage best practice.

The workshop is hosted by members of the Society's Expedition Medicine Advisory Group. As a collective of experienced expedition medical professionals who have travelled far and wide, they are looking forward to sharing their experiences, so that participants can be better prepared when staring out as expedition medics.
