  • Opticians
  • Psychologists
  • Senior doctors: all specialities are welcome to enquire but we have particular need for GPs, dermatologists, ophthalmologists & paediatricians
  • Sonographers
  • Students: pre-meds, dentists, medics & nurses… including elective students!

What?
Depending on the composition of each team, we do:-

  • Burns medicine: assist Triple B Care Projects with burns care
