Echoes of the Okavango Expedition Leader

‘The thing I took away from the training was … you really come out of it knowing… I had the learned knowledge but I actually felt confident to do it. So many medical courses I have been on taught how to do something but  I wouldn’t be able to say confidently that I could do that, but one of the great things about the courses with R2Ri is that you are tested in that and you do genuinely walk out going - not only are you - not only do I know how to do it but I would be confident TO do it if the time calls… certainly were times (on the expedition) where the skills were used…team took comfort from the fact I had done these courses…’

We have specialist expertise within the team here at R2Ri including Doctors with Diplomas in Mountain Medicine as well as Travel Health training, Dive and Hyperbaric medicine and more. Medic team members include a high altitude expedition leader and Outdoor instructor prior to becoming a doctor, regular guide to Everest Basecamp and with an Everest ascent expedition under his belt, he is qualified, experienced and competent to deliver altitude training sessions for expedition and exploration companies. Satisfy your duty of Care and have a suitably experienced and professionally qualified medical professional train your high altitude teams.
