We are the only expedition company in the world who bring our own doctor on every trip. In this episode you’ll hear why an expedition doctor is so important to have on any trip!

I chat to Mark Wilis about his time in the army and how all of that training has carried over into his role as an expedition doctor with Earth’s Edge. Mark’s life has taken on a completely new direction since he began working in the outdoor industry, and he is now a tutor in Expedition Medicine at the University of South Wales.
