Medical Provision

All Tangent led expeditions carry a full and comprehensive expedition medical kit including, when practical, IV fluids and injectable drugs, designed for prolonged expeditions in remote areas where immediate medical help is not available. They also include anti-biotics and a full range of standard first aid provisions. All expedition leaders hold qualifications in First Aid At Work and Mountain First Aid, with many holding more advanced qualifications such as Advanced Medicine For Remote Foreign Travel* and Advanced Life Support. Many of our expeditions also include a qualified doctor, paramedic or nurse.

Tangent Expeditions procures the services and experience of Dr Jon Dallimore and Barry Roberts (Business Manager) of Wilderness Medical Training, as medical advisers and consultants who provide on-going training, advice and courses for Tangent leaders and clients.
