| What people
have said about our charity fundraising events:
'I had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, made some new friends and discovered a lot about myself. I would like to thank the entire team for a wonderful experience. I will definitely be there next year' On behalf of the Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team, I would like tosend our sincerest thanks to Acorss the Divide Expeditions for your generous donation. Genevieve Ward, Treasurer. 'I cannot remember having written to an organisation before to comment on the level of service provided but after my experience it is certainly the correct thing to do. I am Managing Director of a hotel company and I am therefore fully aware of the problems and difficulties that can present themselves when dealing with a large group of people and the requirement to pull together various associates and service providers in order to seamlessly provide a high level of service which exceeds your client's expectations'. |
The course was absolutely fantastic. so organized, smoothly run, seamless transition from one thing to another, interesting, informative and so much FUN. I can only imagine the effort and immense work that must go into making the four days so fabulous for us all. The enthusiasm of all the "faculty" and the evening lecturers for the subject was both humbling and inspiring. I am sure they realise what a success the course was but can't help adding my gratitude to the multitude'. |

The Expedition Medicine faculty aim to prepare both medical professionals and expedition members for the rigors of providing medical care assistance and leadership in areas far from advanced medical facilities. You do not need an advanced medical degree to come on our courses but the level of training is pitched at participants with a strong medical background and a strong interest in wilderness and remote medicine. Expedition Medicine's clients have included the BBC, the Brazilian Government, Capital Radio, Across the Divide Expeditions and Raleigh International to name but a few. |
'Thank you for organising
