Wilderness Medical Training

Publications

WMT’s track record of publications is a testament to our credibility.

WMT’s directors, instructors and lecturers have dozens of publications to their credit. Our team has published research, editorials, magazine articles, online books and more. Of particular note, Dr Jon Dallimore WMT’s Medical Director co-edited the Oxford Handbook of Expedition and Wilderness Medicine. Commercial Director Barry Roberts contributed three chapters and nine other regular WMT instructors contributed chapters. We also recently contributed a feature article about mountain medicine for the British Mountaineering Council’s SUMMIT magazine.

Currently Jon, James Moore and Nick Mason are writing for the American Wilderness Medicine journal for editor Dr Paul Auerbach.
