Fulcrum is a charity which takes 16-18 year-old students from around the UK on a personal development programme. As part of this programme they take part in a 2-3 week expedition in Africa or India which is always accompanied by a doctor. These expeditions typically involve trekking across a desert or hiking in the Himalayas up to 17,000ft. After the expedition component of the challenge, the students are involved in a local community project such as building a school, well or greenhouse poly tunnel.

Any doctor interested should:
1. Preferably be over 28 years old
2. Have done at least 6-12 months of A&E
3. Have been on an approved Expedition & Wilderness Medicine Course
4. Have previously been to the intended altitude of the expedition or higher (for altitude expeditions only)

Fulcrum is a truly brilliant organisation to be involved in and attracts a fantastic group of committed leaders and doctors. If you are interested please contact me, Dr Polly Jacobs with your CV
