This isn’t your average medical course! In North Cornwall’s breathtaking coastal setting, we’ll transform you from landlubber to maritime medic. Each day brings a fresh wave of learning, with kayaking, coasteering, stand-up paddleboarding (SUPing), surf life-saving, and wild swimming on the agenda.
But the learning doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. We’ll weave real-life sea rescue scenarios into these activities, honing your skills in human factors and leadership for marine emergencies.
The course reaches its peak with an unforgettable overnight sea kayaking expedition along the Cornish coastline. Imagine campfires crackling under a star-filled sky, the rhythm of sea shanties filling the air, and the camaraderie of a team bonded by a shared passion for adventure and medicine.
This is more than just a course; it’s an immersive experience that equips you with the expertise to excel as a medical professional on maritime expeditions and events.
