Our Guest Speakers
Caroline Bwango is an Emergency Medicine Doctor currently working in a busy London A & E department. She is passionate about the outdoors and has extensive experience as an expedition and humanitarian medic having worked in the far flung rainforests of Guyana, remote villages in the Himalayas and in a refugee camp in Jordan with Medecins Sans Frontieres. Her favourite activities are water based and she hopes her next expedition will be somewhere in Africa where she can paddle to her heart’s delight.
