Descripción del Cargo

Being a Doctor on board a P&O Cruises or Cunard ship is a truly distinctive medical career. Our ships operate like small towns, and our medical teams manage an exceptionally varied caseload. While you’ll certainly treat the occasional sunburn or seasickness, you’ll also draw on your A&E or Critical Care expertise to manage a wide spectrum of conditions; from minor injuries to complex medical emergencies, including cardiac arrests. You’ll work in a fully equipped medical centre, balancing the autonomy of remote medicine with the support of a close-knit clinical team. No two days are the same, and every voyage brings new challenges, new people, and new experiences.
