The Concept

Serious Content.
Challenging Terrain.

OffChartCPD runs accredited continuing professional development programmes for senior clinicians across the acute and frontline spectrum — emergency medicine, anaesthesia, intensive care, rural and remote practice, and prehospital care. The curriculum covers the clinical and non-technical topics you'd expect from any high-quality CPD programme.

The difference is where it happens. We run it aboard a vessel threading between Antarctic icebergs. In a lodge beside the Lyngen fjord. On a liveaboard in the Coral Triangle. The setting doesn't change the learning — it deepens it.

Small cohorts. Expert faculty. Locations that demand your full presence.

Not expedition medicine

Human factors, leadership and systems thinking sit at the core of every programme — skills that translate directly to any clinical environment, regardless of resources. We build in prehospital care, resuscitation and acute medicine around the expedition programme. The same material that matters in your department on Monday morning.

Diverse cohorts by design

Expeditions take small groups drawn from across the acute spectrum. A multidisciplinary mix of emergency medicine, paramedicine, rural GP and nursing generates better peer learning than a single-specialty group.

CPD That Counts

All programmes are mapped against ACEM and ACRRM CPD frameworks. Attendance documentation and reflective records provided as standard. Overseas participants can be supported with documentation suitable for their respective college requirements.

Faculty Who've Been There

Programmes are led by frontline specialist clinicians with active backgrounds in emergency medicine, prehospital care and expeditions. People who understand both the medicine and the terrain.

Who This Is For

If you work at the sharp end, this is for you.

OffChartCPD is built for clinicians across the acute and frontline spectrum — anyone who regularly makes high-stakes decisions, works in resource-limited environments, or manages undifferentiated sick patients. The cohort diversity is intentional: a rural GP, a retrieval paramedic, an ICU consultant and an ED nurse bring different lenses to the same clinical problems. That tension is where the best learning happens.

The clinical content pitches at a senior level. The physical activities pitch at capable recreational — you don't need to be an elite athlete, but you should be comfortable in the environments we travel to. Pricing reflects the genuine cost of running small expeditions in challenging places.

  • Emergency physicians
  • Rural and remote GPs
  • Anaesthetic and intensive care consultants
  • Prehospital and retrieval practitioners — doctors and paramedics
  • Senior emergency and critical care nurses
  • Registrars in final years of acute specialty training
  • Urgent care and military medicine clinicians
