Austere Medicine with Eoin & Roger Alcock

In this episode we explore the various domains of medicine away
from an ambulance or hospital setting. Roger Alcock is an
Emergency Medicine and Paediatric Emergency Medicine consultant
in Scotland and was involved in the 2014 UK response to the West
Africa ebola crisis. Myself and Roger explore the facets of
humanitarian and expedition medicine that can add to your career
and add depth and breath to experience as a pre-hospital
clinician. We explore some of the details of Roger's Sierra Leone
deployment for the ebola crisis and some of his expedition
endeavours all of which have added to his career and
perspectives.


We also examine some of the non-technical skills that these
deployments and expeditions can foster which both add to
resourcefulness and situational awareness of clinical demand and
innovation in low resource settings. 


I hope you enjoy the episode.
