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?

I am wondering how most cruisers source their drugs and what they carry? I would be happy to share what we left the UK with this summer to start our circumnavigation but it might not be so appropriate as we oviously have a medic on board.

I would be very happy to host a weekend meeting to share experiencesanxieties and knowledge and provide some practical skills training. Don 't want to compete head on with the RYA but I am firmly of the belief that we all have much to learn from each other in the OCC.
