About this course

Medical training for expedition leaders, guides, adventure-travel operators and trip doctors - where the group is small, the terrain is the problem, and help is a long way off.

  • Altitude, heat, cold and environmental illness
  • Wound care and infection in the field
  • Musculoskeletal injury and improvised immobilisation
  • Gastrointestinal illness and group hygiene
  • Evacuation decision-making and casualty carries
