Additionally, we have the support of International SOS, a provider of 24-hour medical and security assistance.
Medical Support during the Trip:
We offer medical support in the following ways:
First Aid: Participants will be accompanied by staff members with First Aid qualifications, and they will manage first aid within the team. Over-the-counter medications may be administered as directed on the packaging.
Advanced First Aid: Each trip includes a staff member with an Advanced Medicine Qualification who can address medical cases according to guidance from International SOS Medical Professionals.
Professional Medical Care: In the event of a major incident, we seek support from local emergency services. For serious but non-urgent incidents, we rely on International SOS authorized hospitals or facilities for professional medical care.
Medical Policies and Data :Our medical policies, procedures, and advice are developed from a UK medical perspective by our external medical advisor and shared with our Medical and Security Assistance providers, International SOS.
Health-Related Personal Data :We collect medical information about participants to ensure trip suitability, proper management of illnesses, and the safety of all attendees. Dietary and medical information is shared with partner organizations to plan catering and assist in incident prevention and management.
We process health information based on explicit consent provided on behalf of the participant. You (or the student) can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us. However, withdrawing consent means the individual cannot attend the trip. If consent is withdrawn while the participant is on a trip, we will continue to rely on it until the trip ends.
