Iona Taylor

I am currently a Junior doctor working in emergency medicine with a passion for sailing. I first started sailing in dinghies at the age of 12, racing at club level and then becoming a dinghy instructor. Whilst studying Medicine I became involved with the university team racing teams and started to sail larger yachts whilst volunteering for the Tall Ships Youth Trust. I have recently spent some time out of my medical training programme to enhance my sailing career, working as a deck hand and watch leader whilst crossing the Atlantic and parts of the Pacific. I have completely fallen in love with both sailing and emergency medicine and aim to combine a future career in both.
