goodbye, NHS 💙 two years of being a doctor; which has been one of the biggest privileges of my life. Seeing people at their best and worst days, being entrusted to hard truths and deep thoughts- and through it all just trying to help.
My lowest lows and highest highs were felt in the walls of the hospitals where I have worked for the last two years. And now… it’s time to say goodbye.
onto other things now & other worlds… but I’m not putting the stethoscope down just yet 🩺

a white Christmas for the first time in years!
yeah… there are nightclubs in Antarctica
the most beautiful skies as the sun began to set
permanently pink skies
the polar night was finally here!
my first auroras
celebrating midwinter with a Shackleton-themed evening

What’s life like at one of the most isolated research stations on Earth? ❄️👀
Welcome to Concordia Station in Antarctica, around 1,200 km inland and more than 3,000 metres above sea level. For nine months of the year, the station is inaccessible, even in an emergency. Its harsh surroundings have earned it the nickname “White Mars”.
Our medical doctor @studyholmes takes us on a tour, showing us some of the unusual things that make perfect sense when you live and work in such an extreme environment.
Could you live somewhere this remote? Send this to the person you’d take with you 🥶

things about living in antarctica that I found difficult 💫 just a bit of reflection as the year slowly comes to a close 🥹

READ THE CAPTION 🌟 so… you want to work in Antarctica?
🪐 you don’t have to be a doctor — most of the science here is not medical.
Here are just some of the scientific disciplines studied in Antarctica:
- glaciology and atmospheric chemistry
- ornithology / marine biology
- astrophysics
- seismology and meteorology
… and so much more! ps: the research for this year’s @nobelprize in physics was partly done in Antarctica! 🥹
🔧 you don’t have to be a scientist — someone needs to keep the station running & liveable! we need electricians, plumbers, mechanics, IT techs, cleaners (in summer), cooks and more
📝 you need to be the ‘expert’ — jobs vary in competitiveness, but you need to have a good CV/portfolio to go. You need to be competent in your field. For scientists, you don’t need a PhD, but a master’s is usually desirable. Above all, you need to prove that you can be relied upon when you’re the only person around on the station who can diagnose someone or do chemistry or rewire a circuit when needed. Innovation accounts for a lot of this too!
🌟 you need to be passionate — Antarctica is not for the weak, especially not the winter. If you want to go, you need to be determined, passionate and also knowledgeable about the station you’re going to and what you’re getting yourself into. Do the research before applying!
🇦🇶 where do you start? — go and look at your country’s polar institute where jobs are regularly advertised. Follow them on LinkedIn and their socials for job updates!

life on white mars ❄️🪐🇦🇶 (slide 3 just miiiight surprise you!)
this is what it means to live in one of the most extreme environments on earth - so harsh it’s been nicknamed after the red planet 🪐
the conditions lived here by the overwintering crew (people who live & work here for a year) are so similar to long-duration space missions that @europeanspaceagency conduct human biomedical experiments on the crew to help plan for future missions to the moon, mars and beyond 🌟
truly the best experience of my life

moments from the Antarctic winter that will stay with me ❄️🌟🪐 it’s officially spring here and with a month left until the summer season starts and we leave it just felt like the right moment to do a little post to reminisce over the polar winter, which was truly my favourite time of year here 🥹

Things that just make sense when you live at Concordia Station in Antarctica ❄️
Our medical doctor @studyholmes shows us some of the unusual things that make perfect sense when you live at Concordia Station.
Located on the Antarctic plateau at around 3,200 metres above sea level, Concordia is one of the most isolated research stations on Earth.
For us, Concordia is also a unique place to study how humans adapt to extreme environments. Every year, we sponsor a medical doctor to live and work at the station, carrying out research relevant to future human space missions.
Which one surprised you the most? 👀
