Working in Extreme Environments with Nadja Albertsen

Working in Extreme Environments with Nadja Albertsen

This week, we're joined from Denmark by Doctor Nadja Albertson. Alongside World Extreme Medicine Education Lead Will Duffin, Nadja explores her role as a medic working remotely in Greenland, crossing the ice sheet on skis, microscoping polar bears and over-wintering in the Concordia Antarctic station. The pair also discuss some of her research on whether chronic hypoxia impairs cognitive function.

Nadja also gives her perspectives on working on the Covid frontline in Denmark, detailing the uncertainty around the globe, the increased need to learn on the job and adapting practise to adhere to social distancing measures.

Nadja also reflects on the impact of the disease on different people, including the prevalence of mental health and loneliness as lockdown measures continue. Nadja details her experiences of isolation in Greenland and Antarctica have prepared her for lockdown, and the lessons you can channel to combat living and working in isolated environments.

The pair also consider some of the positives we can take from this pandemic. Nadja shares how she's using COVID as an opportunity to slow down (slightly), regroup and think about what is important to her.
