Do
you have over 2 years post graduation experience? Are you over
25? Are you looking for a change? An adventure? A real
challenge? For a chance to use your professional knowledge in
foreign climes?
Are
you looking to develop your skills, both medical and personal?
For an opportunity to work with young people from different
backgrounds and cultures on worthwhile community and
environmental projects in developing countries around the world?
But more importantly, do you want to be a part of an expedition
that could be one of the most memorable, enjoyable and
worthwhile experiences of your life?
We
send young people (aged 17 - 25) on three month expeditions to
Namibia, Chile, Costa Rica & Nicaragua and Malaysian Borneo.
A
volunteer staff team (aged 25+) manages the young people.
Volunteer Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics are a fundamental part
of the staff team. The medic's role on expedition is to help
maintain the health and safety of all participants by teaching
people the importance of preventative healthcare. In addition,
medics have to be able to deal with emergency situations as well
as a whole range of ailments from brucellosis, cellulitis,
hypothermia to blisters, D&V and constipation!
Whilst looking after the health of their group is the primary
role, all nurses get to experience a Raleigh expedition first
hand, assisting in the construction of schools or health posts,
adventure trekking phases or cooking for fifteen people on a
camp fire!
