Rob Conway

Trustee and Medical Adviser Rob has had a fondness for the ocean since he was a small child.

He has taken part in projects since the turn of the century both in Madagascar and the Indian Ocean, and has done so as a research diver and medic as well as leading a number of expeditions that have culminated in awards from Buckingham Palace. The most important thing to him, though, is the fact that he can help in his own way, to make a substantial difference to protecting the environment as well as the way that humans influence it.

Rob is currently a doctor at Mayday University Hospital and is Chairman of the Trustees of Blue Ventures Conservation. He has been involved and was an intern for Divers Alert Network, the largest diving medical and safety group in the world. He has an interest in expeditions and is actively involved in the Wilderness Medical Society in the UK.

In his spare time he can be found on the South Downs, kite surfing in the English channel or with his head in his medical books trying to absorb the large amount of information so that he can be a good doctor.
