Remote & Expedition Medicine Training for Healthcare Practitioners
Enabling best care when definitive care is not an option — bespoke clinical training for remote, offshore & expedition environments, delivered by NHS HEMS consultants.
Enabling best care when definitive care is not an option — bespoke clinical training for remote, offshore & expedition environments, delivered by NHS HEMS consultants.
Chiron Remote & Extended Care provides bespoke remote medicine training for registered healthcare practitioners working in challenging, resource-limited settings. Whether you deliver medical cover in maritime, offshore, or expedition environments — or are preparing for a HEMS or mountain rescue role — our training is built around the real clinical demands of austere-environment practice.
All modules are taught by active NHS consultants across Anaesthetics, Intensive Care Medicine and Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM), with direct experience of delivering extended-scope care beyond the hospital gate.
We can offer teaching in a variety of formats from introductory lectures for novel concepts to workshops to polish the skills of experienced providers. Finally, clinical simulation will be used to apply the concepts, equipment and skills in real time scenarios. With previous experience in instructing ALS, APLS, FUSIC, FEEL, TUS and eFAST, we can provide training tailored to your needs.
Begin with a high-acuity, high-clarity approach to trauma assessment.
This module strengthens your ability to deliver a structured [C]ABC assessment, rapidly integrate point-of-care data including blood gas interpretation and POCUS findings, and convert a broad differential into a prioritised, defensible management plan.
You'll also develop the leadership skills required to coordinate a team, allocate tasks, and drive safe, timely interventions in dynamic trauma environments.
Move beyond "knowing the kit" to mastering it in context.
This module takes you from essential setup and safety checks through to scenario-specific optimisation of key clinical equipment.
This module will be tailored to equipment you carry, but devices covered include:
By the end, you'll be able to deploy equipment confidently, efficiently and appropriately across a range of clinical situations.
A practical, clinically focused introduction to point-of-care ultrasound.
You'll build a solid understanding of ultrasound physics, image acquisition, and the protocols that matter in acute and extended-care practice.
Available protocols include:
This module will not provide full POCUS accreditation.
For beginners, it emphasises image acquisition for remote support. For clinicians with existing accreditation, it helps refine practice for the pre-hospital environment by integrating findings into safe, effective clinical decision-making.
Extend your pharmacological capability in high-risk, time-critical presentations.
This module introduces the safe use of medications commonly encountered beyond initial medical care, including via infusions.
You'll learn when and how to use these agents, how to monitor their effects, and how to incorporate them into evidence-based management plans for life-threatening conditions.
Develop practical, ultrasound-guided skills to deliver Plan A regional blocks safely and effectively.
You'll learn the relevant sono-anatomy, needle-handling techniques and safety considerations for:
This module focuses on giving you the confidence to provide high-quality analgesia across a range of anatomical areas, improving patient comfort and enabling better procedural care.
Build the clinical skills required to treat or temporise critically ill and severely injured patients.
This module gives you a clear, structured approach to the emergency interventions you're most likely to encounter — and the confidence to deliver them safely under pressure.
You won't just learn the technical steps of a procedure; you'll learn the clinical context, decision-making, safety considerations and aftercare that transform a technical skill into a complete treatment bundle.

How You'll Learn
The result is training that builds not just competence, but operational confidence — the ability to deliver critical interventions safely, calmly and effectively when it matters most.
We draw from a high-calibre pool of clinicians, all with substantial experience in teaching pre-hospital and acute care.
Our instructors come from diverse but complementary backgrounds — Critical Care, Anaesthetics, Emergency Medicine, and Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) — bringing real operational insight to every session.
These are practitioners who teach what they do, not what they once did.
Will is a practising NHS consultant across Anaesthetics, Intensive Care Medicine, and Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine, with nearly twenty years of experience in the busiest Mountain Rescue Teams in the UK. He was team Doctor for the MRT, and previously was the clinical lead in Intensive Care Medicine. He has a specialist interest in the clinical application of POCUS, underpinned by:
Will regularly teaches PHEM-focused POCUS on a bespoke programme for one of the UK's largest HEMS services and supports candidates preparing for the DipIMC.
He is an active instructor in ALS & APLS, and previously PALS and FEEL, and is progressing toward ETC instructor status.
Will's teaching style blends multimedia simulation with real-world clinical experience, giving clinicians the confidence to apply advanced skills safely in high-pressure environments.
Chiron was a centaur from Greek mythology — but unlike the rest of his kind, he was known for his wisdom, gentleness, and extraordinary skill in medicine. He was teacher to heroes including Achilles and Asclepius, the god of healing himself.
What makes Chiron the right name for us is what set him apart: he didn't just treat in the comfort of a temple or a city. He operated in the wild, on the move, far from the safety of conventional care. He was the original remote practitioner.
That's the spirit we carry into everything we do — expert care, wherever it's needed most.
Bespoke training for healthcare practitioners working in remote, maritime, offshore and expedition settings — including clinical assessment, equipment familiarisation, POCUS foundations, critical care medications, regional analgesia, and emergency procedures.

Will currently works as a HEMS consultant in an established HEMS service, delivering care including blood product resuscitation, pre-hospital emergency anaesthesia and surgical procedures in genuinely austere environments.
Whether you're a practitioner looking for bespoke training or an organisation needing remote medical support, we'd love to hear from you.
