Our Values
We are driven by strong ethical and humanitarian values; respect, willingness to help, and compassion.
Our Mission
We are committed to enabling those who are working, travelling or competing overseas to achieve their objective through the delivery of medical advice, support and training.
Our Approach
We combine comprehensive medical preparation and support with a light touch, and an ability to integrate seamlessly and discreetly into our clients' way of working. In so doing we are able to support events, teams and projects in highly challenging and remote environments, allowing ambitious individuals and organisations to push higher and further.
About Intrepid Medics
We are three friends and colleagues that share the explorer's spirit and the passion for wilderness medicine.
Dedicated to practising the highest standards of pre-hospital care in the world's most challenging environments, calling on diverse and extensive direct experience of almost every conceivable remote medical and critical care scenario.
From the battle field, to disaster zones, to healthcare epidemics, and from the High Himalaya, the sub-Saharan savanna, to the limitless Mongolian Steppe, we have worked individually and as a team to provide top-quality care and practical, sustainable solutions in challenging environments.
Our wealth of pre-hospital experience, advising and instructing government and military agencies, NGOs and commercial entities, makes us versatile, responsive and approachable. We are equally well-versed in on-the-ground delivery of solutions, as in bespoke training and consultancy.
Our medics are fully qualified UK and US Paramedics, keeping an up-to-date portofolio as pre-hospital clinicians and a current UK Security Clearance.
Testimonials
Katy Willings, Mongol Derby Chief (2010-2018)
“The team at Intrepid are fantastic to work with. The needs of our event are highly specialised and require a great deal of flexibility and an ability to integrate with existing plans, and develop new ones on the fly. They designed a set of protocols which perfectly suited the rigours of the environment and the adventure, and implemented them as a beautifully integrated team within the wider event crew. They enhanced the event in myriad ways, medical and non-medical.”
Valeria Ariza, Uruguayan Endurance Rider
“Adventurers can only be cared for by adventurers. Congrats you guys for being the best medical support Ive ever seen: capable, decision takers, candid, supportive yet strict. Nothing can be more reasssuring than having you guys on board!”
Hugh Cummings, Owner Occum's Vet Division
“Knowing our people are cared for takes top priority in tough situations. Ranging from the office to the field Intrepid Medics have performed for all our needs at an unmatched level. The comfort of knowing that everything from basic care to crisis treatment is safely and securely covered allows my team to focus 100% on our work without worry. They have become vital to our programs.”
Dori Hummel Hertel, U.S. Endurance Rider
“The last guys you want to see in any adventure are the medics. As the cards played out, in the 2018 Mongol Derby, I had to interact with the medics a few times. I can not express my gratitude to these guys enough. If you need their services, they are 100% attentive, extremely professional and very discrete. The founders of Intrepid Medics have your best interests in mind with amazing medical skills to keep you going!”
Mike Bridson, UN Lead Helicopter Pilot
“As the project manager and lead pilot during the UN mission (UNMEER) for the Ebola outbreak in West Africa my primary tasking was helicopter medevac of Ebola patients, as well as training and movement of people and supplies through throughout the affected countries. Andrei was the team leader of the Health and Security advisory team assigned to work alongside our crew. We worked closely together to develop efficient and safe SOP’s for the utilization of our isolation stretcher for Ebola medevac, as well as training policies and safe transportation of people into often-unknown landing zones throughout the area. As a team, we were able to easily adapt to fluid situations and we were always able to achieve our objectives safely and efficiently. With his background as a soldier and medic, Andrei is highly skilled, confident, methodical and passionate about his trade. A trusted professional that I am proud to consider a friend; I can only hope to work with again in the future. ”
Devan Horn, U.S. Endurance Rider and Ultra-Marathon Athlete
“Andrei and his team are indispensable in the backcountry. Not only are they competent and equipped to cope with any medical emergency an adventure or trek throws at them, they are logistically savvy and at home in the wilderness. I can think of no team I would rather have standing by when things go sideways. Their combination of expertise and experience is critical for any expedition.”
