DR PAUL BROMLEY

MSc and PhD degrees and a post-doctoral fellowship in academic cardiology, I worked for
over 20 years as a Consultant Scientist in cardiology and lecturer in applied physiology

service provided me with my first exposure to expedition medicine and disaster relief and
I have gone on to serve as solo medic for expeditions in Africa, Asia, South America, and
across Europe as well as gaining experience in delivering healthcare in the Channel Islands
and as a search and rescue medic.
I left my permanent NHS appointment as Lead Advanced Clinical Practitioner in one of
London’s busiest emergency departments in April 2024 to focus on my legal career and
remote area medicine whilst I continue in my role as CEO and CQC Registered Manager for
Remote Medic UK Ltd. My varied positions have provided me with extensive clinical
experience as well as competence as a senior manager and leader with a broad
understanding of NHS and private sector healthcare, academia, the military and commerce.
I am an instructor for adult and paediatric advanced life support and trauma resuscitation
courses, I was one of the first Paramedics in the UK to qualify as an Independent Prescriber,
I have completed the JESIP National Tactical (Silver) Command qualification, and I am one
of only a dozen UK clinicians to hold the Fellowship of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine.
