This is the first major textbook on the emerging speciality of
remote medicine. The modern concept emerged in the 1970s when the
medical directors of the main oil companies operating in the North
Sea - BP, Shell and Mobil - sought advice from the University
sector since the morbidity and mortality levels of offshore workers
had become unacceptable. A system of healthcare was jointly
developed and applied by the industrial doctors and the academic
doctors of Aberdeen University which worked well and greatly
improved the healthcare of the offshore personnel. It was
subsequently validated by duplication for the very different
scientific population of the British Antarctic Survey where it
worked even better. It was next introduced to the oilfields of the
Middle East - Qatar (QGPC, Offshore and Onshore), Abu Dhabi (ADMA
and ADCO) and Oman (PDO) where it worked equally well. The Aberdeen
Universities next collaborated with the UAE University in Abu Dhabi
to evaluate and develop telemedicine mainly in the area of
education and research and they established early transcontinental
courses and conferences together with joint supervision and
production of higher degrees between collaborating universities in
different parts of the world.The recently established International
Remote Healthcare Association (IRHCA), backed by the University of
Glasgow, the UAE University in Abu Dhabi and the Siberian State
Medical University has established an ongoing study to determine
the education and skills required to produce a competent Remote
Healthcare Practitioner. The chapters in this book contain the
knowledge base currently thought by the IRHCA to be necessary to
produce a competent remote healthcare practitioners and thus to
allow curricular development of the new courses necessary for the
establishment of University qualifications and for the regulating
authorities to design examinations and establish appropriate
registration. Since this is a new speciality the continuing
research of the IRHCA is necessary to act as an audit to ensure
that the information in the book, and the courses derived from it
remain relevant and also to detect omissions as they are
recognised.

A year living with ten scientists in a hut buried deeply within an
ice shelf eight hundred miles from the South Pole is an unusual
experience. Aside from the climatic problems and the care with
interpersonal relationships essential in such circumstances the
authors project was even more unusual and challenging. A few miles
from this scientific station there was a rookery of about ten
thousand Emperor Penguins. Captain Scotts friend and biologist Dr
Edward Wilson was determined to discover whether these creatures
were fish which could fly or birds which could swim like fish - or
even reptiles for they were primitive creatures in evolutionary
development. Wilson died with Scott on the way back from the South
Pole and the scientific puzzle drifted into obscurity. The author,
who was on National service fifty years later, and certainly not a
professional explorer was asked to provide a timed series of
Emperor Penguin embryos at twelve hourly intervals for ten days.
Ignorant of what the project entailed he agreed and so started an
adventure which coloured the rest of his life. No one told him that
the penguins laid their eggs in pitch darkness in the depth of the
polar winter, nor that the average temperature would be in the
minus forties. Penguins, like sheep, are not easy to tell apart so
how was he to time an embryo unless he saw the egg laid? How also
was he to pick out the same penguin several days later to harvest
the embryo? It was a mission which seemed close to impossible but
then the challenge had been handed out to a daft Scotsman with the
genes of a Scotch terrier.
