A vital member of our Everest Base Camp Team is our Expedition Doctor, and this year we are joined by Dr Penzy Dinsdale.
Penzy recently joined the AC team and is looking forward to her first season as the doctor at Everest Base Camp for the 2025 season. She’s currently specialising in Rural Hospital Medicine and is excited to be fitting in more Expedition Medicine alongside this role, with previous experience as a medic on the ski fields in New Zealand and Expeditions Cruises in Antarctica.
Outside of medicine, Penzy enjoys a variety of outdoors adventures, particularly long tramping adventures. She has previous completed the three passes trek in the Everest region as well as an 85 day long traverse of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.
