Types of expedition



  • Solo/pairs – often require remote advice, a supply of basic medical equipment and some training.
  • Small group – may be static (e.g. scientific teams, or mobile on a specific route such as charity treks), normally one medic.
  • Large group – often require more than one medic and a support team (e.g. gap year projects).
  • Remote area endurance races – serious undertakings with large medical teams.
