WMT’s flagship international Expedition Medicine course, now later than normal 2-6 March 2020, has so far attracted delegates from New Zealand, America, Sweden, Canada, Ireland and across the UK including med students, nurses, GPs, junior doctors and surgeons. This truly is an inclusive and multi-disciplinary, multi-national event packed with thought leading medical content, career advice and inspiring faculty life stories. There’s a poster competition again and crucially, a good chunk of time is available for free skiing. Delegates are now busy arranging shared accommodation and finding ski lesson partners via the course WhatsApp group.
Featured faculty: Hear from Dr Lucy Obolensky and her work as a global health advocate and TV doctor with Sir David Attenborough. WMT’s Ice Maiden – GP Nics Wetherill – knows a thing or two about extreme cold conditions as co-leader of the first all-female team to ski coast to coast cross Antarctica.
Daily themes (playfully cryptic this year) are:
- Mountain medicine, safety and rescue
- Get ready! (with a global health flavour)
- Practical outdoor workshops
- Hot and traumatic
- Cold and poorly
