Given WMT’s long established partnership with “The Lodge” who host our Advanced Medicine courses, we’re very happy to share news of Glenmore Lodge’s NEW 2-day Women’s Winter Skills and Women’s Introduction to Winter Mountaineering courses being held in Aviemore 11-12 March. Naturally, these courses for women are taught by females instructors. Why women only courses? See the British Mountaineering Council’s page This Girl Can: climb www.thebmc.co.uk and Sport England who are driving female participation in sport. www.sportengland.org

Ben Keen runs The Adventure Element and recently completed Advanced Medicine at Glenmore Lodge. He’s just published this useful blog on expedition safety and what steps his company is taking in this direction. It’s worth a read. www.theadventureelement.co.uk

We’re delighted that as usual the flagship Expedition Medicine winter course in the heart of the Alps has sold out.

WMT’s collection of expert Medical Director’s Bulletins written by Dr Harvey Pynn are now online. Topics range from rabies, travelling with children to new cervical spine injury management guidelines and managing hypothermia.

We’re very excited about our website face lift which should go live mid-January 2017 giving the website a cleaner, brighter look and much more mobile device functionality. Watch this space. We’re also inviting image contributions for the homepage banner – stunning wide images showing the breadth of activities and environments WMT alumni travel to would be much appreciated. Please get in touch by email.
