We were wondering if there might be a demand for a weekend medical seminar specifically for cruisers far from shore let alone home? I would be happy to facilitate this being a UK GP, an active cruiser and with 25 years of experience in remote mountain medical matters. I wouldn 't propose a rigid course but rather shape it to fit the experience and concerns of those attending. The aim would be to share experiences and skills in an informal environment.

What are your thoughts? Is there a need? What subjects should be tackled? Formal or informal?

Hi JoJO,
Good report on the course and your success with the Pharmacy. I am pleased and a bit surprised that a big chain like Boots was so flexible. Were you familiar with them as a person/family? I do not know of a greater depth course in UK, just US. I would also try climbing/backpacker/back country sites. The skills are very similar. Let us know what you find.
