Preparing Medical Professionals for the World's Most Challenging Environments.
Join our comprehensive courses in prehospital and expedition medicine, designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge and teamwork required to work in remote and extreme environments.
Pioneers in Medical Education
Pioneers in Medical Education
Faraway Medicine have been pioneers of high fidelity in-situ medical simulation since 2010. We developed a unique and highly efficacious model of small group teaching and workshops followed by simulated scenarios using actors and film grade moulage in remote environments. This model for success has been recognised and successfully adopted by many other organisations both in the UK and abroad. Over the last 15 years we have educated thousands of healthcare professionals and lay responders in prehospital medicine.
Our strength lies within our longevity, experience and ability to educate & inspire others to go on to achieve remarkable things.

We know that quality is more important that quantity when it comes to course selection.
Over 15 years we have honed and refined a small number of courses to ensure continued high quality delivery that meets the demands of 21st century healthcare provided in remote environments.
Prehospital & Expedition Medicine
Prehospital & Expedition Medicine
Our flagship course is set high in the French Alps and offers participants 7 days immersive medical education. This action packed week will provide you with a solid grounding in the medical skills required to work in a remote environment. You will be trekking in the Alpine flower meadows and jagged peaks by day, and enjoying alfresco dinners on midsummer evenings under the stars whilst learning a host of new skills with our inspiring team of instructors.
In order to deliver focused, hands-on training, the course is limited to a maximum number of participants. This will enable interactive teaching, tailored to individual needs, and small group work for scenarios and workshops.
Our faculty is made up of experienced prehospital medics and expedition leaders. Our medics have many years of experience providing medical cover for expeditions in extreme environments all over the world, including desert, jungle, altitude, arctic and dive medicine. Our expedition leaders and bushcraft instructors have worked in some of the most remote parts of the globe, and will be sure to inspire you with their survival and leadership skills.
Dive Medicine
Dive Medicine
This action packed week will offer you the opportunity to learn how to manage a wide variety of Diving and remote environment injuries. Alongside this you will either learn to dive for the first time as you undertake your PADI open water qualification or complete a more advanced course such as the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or the PADI Rescue diver course. Expect the unexpected with film-quality make-up, simulated injuries and crystal clear diving with Gozo's highest rated Dive Centre Bubbles. This is a week not to miss.
Small group teaching. Outdoor workshops. High fidelity scenarios.
Using the skills taught in small group teaching and outdoor workshops you will be faced with a number of scenarios to implement and consolidate your learning. Our team of Doctors and Dive Masters will ensure you are comfortable managing acutely ill and injured casualties in any environment. With a focus on trauma you'll be managing multiple casualties with an emphasis on life saving interventions, secondary care and evacuation packaging and planning.
