Dr Nathan is a holder of the Professional Diploma in Travel Health and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS), and has provided medical support to numerous expeditions, from providing support as a PADI Divemaster, expedition doctor and photographer to a multi-national marine biology research expedition in remote parts of the Indian Ocean, to supporting a group of climate scientists from Innsbruck University on a National Geographic-funded world-first expedition as the doctor and assistant photographer to the most northern caves on the planet in North Greenland. He is also the founder of Eco Medics, an award winning non-profit startup tackling sustainability within the healthcare industry.
