Medical courses designed for career breakers who volunteer, train, work or travel in remote areas. A Surviving Adventure course will give you the skills you need to manage emergencies when you travel. Courses take place over 2 days in the UK, and 80% of training takes place outdoors, so you must be prepared to participate in all weathers!

'Off the beaten track' adventure travel, including things like white-water rafting, horse riding and camping. Tours are small, fun and flexible. Lots of optional activities to enjoy – from nature walking to gold-panning to country and western dancing! You also have a flexible itinerary, which includes 2- or 3-night stops in some places, so you're not rushing through. Accommodation ranges from camping to hostels, motels and hotels, depending on where you are (you are provided with all camping equipment except a sleeping bag). The focus is on getting off the beaten track, away from conventional tourists, so you get to see things you might otherwise miss.
