Tour leader Dr Wendy Denning is a GP with over 30 years of experience. She has been nominated to Tatler's Top Doctor list 3 years in a row. Her passion has always been integrated medicine and she went to medical school with the intention of practising integrated medicine when she qualified. She has spent 5 months in India doing volunteer work as a doctor - assisting at an eye camp serving 10,000 patients, assisting on a mobile hospital and shadowing a doctor who practised Ayruvedic Medicine. She has travelled to Bangalore and spent 3 weeks at the wonderful Soukya Clinic. She has also been on a 2 week medical trip to the Rajasthan and visited other areas of India during her many visits.
Wendy is leading one of our upcoming medical study tours to South India. From the Chinese fishing nets in Cochin, the tour cruises the tranquil backwaters of Kerala on a luxury houseboat and continues to Calicut and the epic mountain scenery of Wayanad in the Western Ghats, with its red earth, vivid green rice paddies, bamboo and rubber, cardamom and coffee plantations. Onto gracious Mysore, known for its glittering royal heritage, a city of sandalwood, spices and silk, finishing in Bangalore.
Along the way, participants explore one of the oldest medical systems in the world – Ayurveda. This traditionally ran parallel with Western medicine within India, but the two systems are now entwined more closely together.
