img_0878It has been a while since I last wrote this blog as I have not had much time to do anything but homework or preparing for my career break.  So I don’t know if it is guilt, a side effect of the Larium I have just started, or the fact that I watched ‘Julie and Julia’, a film about blogging, but I felt the need to update it today.  I am 6 weeks into my 2 month staff course and feeling the pressure.  It is a course with a lot of work and I also need to be ready to leave the UK for a year travelling in just under 3 weeks.

Hello Shippers, this is my first entry in what will hopefully be a relatively amusing account of what a Royal Navy Medical Officer gets up to at sea.

I am onboard HMS RICHMOND which is a type 23 frigate. We left Portsmouth on Monday morning in procedure alpha, where we all get in our number 1 uniform and line the upper deck. Many families and friends braved the cold wet weather to stand on round tower and wave us off on our deployment to the Gulf as part of Operation Telic, the UK’s contribution to the international coalition of warships conducting maritime security in the region.
