S4 Ep14: Expedition Medicine w/ Dr Josh Allison co-founder of 'Unique Expeditions'

Welcome back to 'The Student Paramedic Podcast'. This week we have a conversation with Dr Josh Allison from Unique Expeditions.  Josh is an Expedition and Wilderness Medicine Doctor based in London. Over the years he has gained field experience across the globe, where he provides medical support for teams heading into remote and austere environments. Whether navigating 7,000m Andean mountains, American deserts or dense tropical jungles, he’s done it all whilst looking after teams of intrepid explorers. Josh also spends much of his time training the future Wilderness Medical Specialists as the medical lead for Unique Expeditions and various other organisations. When not in the wilderness Josh works in a busy Emergency Department and spends his spare time rock climbing and cycling.  We gain some insight into what expedition medicine entails and how to get involved in this aspect of medicine.   DISCLAIMER: All of the opinions of each individual on 'The Student Paramedic Podcast' are their own.
