Expedition and remote work often push medics beyond familiar healthcare systems – but what happens when the challenge isn’t clinical, it’s legal?
In this session, Steve Jones draws on decades of experience leading expeditions across Antarctica, Central America, and East Africa to explore the medico-legal realities of working in extreme environments.
Covering topics such as insurance, liability, consent, documentation, and ethical dilemmas, Steve shares practical strategies for protecting yourself and your team while maintaining safe, ethical, and accountable care in remote settings.
