Dr Rebecca "Bex" Salmon
MBChB MRCEM DFSEM(UK)
Founder and Clinical Director
Uniquely qualified medical Doctor with over 25 years' experience in the health and fitness industries, dedicated to professionalism, science-backed medicine and helping you to navigate the complexities of NHS and private healthcare.
​I have worked extensively with the NHS and the military (RAF and Army), with elite athletes, have led several overseas expeditions, provided medical support to many sporting events including the World Cycling Championships (BMX) in Glasgow and the Isle of Man TT. I have also worked with celebrities and large corporate organisations providing medical consultancy services and executive medical health assessments.
I am a Specialty Doctor with expertise in: Sport and Exercise Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Occupational Medicine, having previously worked as a paramedic, RAF Physical Education Officer, personal trainer and outdoor pursuits instructor. I instruct on courses in Advanced Life Support, Paediatric Advanced Life Support and the European Trauma Course, and I am committed to lifelong studying to keep up to date with the evidence behind health and fitness trends.
​
I get emotional at events like Park Run, when I see a huge variety of shapes of humans proudly pushing their personal boundaries, and I love seeing the joy in people’s faces when they realise they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.
​
My hobbies have ranged from paragliding, mountain-biking and climbing to less thrill-seeking activities as I’ve got older such as triathlons, squash, and canoeing. I find it difficult to stay indoors and am addicted to over-ambitious DIY projects and chocolate.
