In reply to Bee_1: Well, believe it or not the BASICS (or equivalent) pre-hospital care course in the flatlands of Norfolk is probably worth looking at if you have an interest in these things - the skills are often similar. Ditto an ALS and ATLS course will be easy to get signed up to and supply a few handy skills. So that can wait until next year and study leave...
I'd take the opportunity to get overseas - the overdraft will only get a little bigger - as it is a great opportunity before you get on the stepladder of the F years, and getting a month off to do something like that is impossible (near enough) if you do run-through training.
I had 10 weeks (this was last century...) and went to Peru to do ID, and the Bolivia to do some stuff at altitude - ended up with HACE - all in all an 'experience' but much learning (and even some growing up) ensued. I'd even do most of it all over again (maybe not the bits with the armed gunmen or the cerebral oedema though).
Ask others, look at old elective reports, formulate a (sensible) question for DNUK, etc. Your options in August might be cut down a bit by weather (southern hemisphere winter ,or getting a bit toasty in Africa, for instance). My mate and I gave up on sailing to Svalbard and working in the med post there when we realised it would be dark for the 10 weeks and I would have to eat blubber...
