Expedition Medicine Course - Lake District

The aim of the Expedition Medicine course is to provide aspiring and experienced expedition doctors, nurses paramedics and advanced medics with the skills and practical knowledge to become valuable members of an expedition team. The UK expedition medicine course is intensive and thorough, drawing on the wealth of skills within the expedition medicine faculty.
The Expedition Medicine team has been selected not only for their academic qualifications but also for their expedition experience, and for their ability to put across the passion and enthusiasm with which they regard the subject- they probably represent one of the most select teams of expedition experienced teachers in the UK and their expedition experience ranges from Antarctica to Namibia, from China to Chile. They continue to be active in their varied fields of expedition and wilderness medicine and we are very lucky to be able to gather them all in one place at the same time.

We are honoured to have one of the worlds leading experts on Altitude Medicine, Dr Jim Milledge joining our faculty staff in 2007. Jim was part of the legendary Silver Hut Expedition in 1960 led by Sir Edmund Hillary with Dr Griffith Pugh as the Scientific Leader. Other members included John West and Michael Ward. He is an author on many scientific papers and one of three authors (with West and Ward) of the standard textbook High Altitude Medicine and Physiology; the fourth edition is in press.
