A Life On (Off and Under) the Ocean Wave!!

Our next lecture will be held this Wednesday the 13th February in Boyd Orr LT B at 1900. Our speaker will be Surgeon Lieutenant Commander Sean Miles from the Royal Navy



Dr Miles has practiced medicine in some of the most inhospitable, hostile and isolated environments on the planet, from deserts and mountains, to being the only doctor isolated on a submarine hundreds of feet under the sea. This means that he has a wealth of experience in wilderness medicine which he has agreed to share with us!!



Whether you are considering a career in the armed services, or just want some excellent advice about the practice of medicine in the most hostile environments on earth, this talk is sure to be of great interest!!

Where: Boyd Orr LT B
When: Wednesday 13th November at 1900hrs
Then: Off to the pub!!
