I have come accross this course, based in the Lake District.
It looks OK and I know some of the lecturers and they are very well qualified and experienced.
The majority of the participants seem to be doctors, nurses and Paramedics so should be a reasonably advanced course.
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it.... not designed for CP but more remote settings.

Suggested Reading ListThe aim of the Expedition Medicine and Wilderness Medical Training 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.
