rescueme is on a distinguished road
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.

The courses are run over a 4-day period and are based in the stunning Barrow House Youth Hostel, Borrowdale, Keswick.

There will be both a lecture and outdoors education programme (60/ 40) and the course members will be pushed both mentally and physically. The Expedition Medicine faculty aims to present the valuable skills in a logical and progressive fashion, culminating in a day of moulage and subsequent feedback. To accompany the course a comprehensive manual is provided free of charge as is membership of the RemoteMed Association.

Carl Dowd will become famous soon enough
Rescueme hi, Mate I do not know much about this particular course but trust me when I say that you could not go far wrong with this style of training... it probably will not deal much or at all with gunshot or blast wounds but for remote access trauma and relative injuries it could be good. I began my advanced + aid career in advanced mountaineering first aid and remote medicine and found it fascinating. Remember also that mountaineers are use to dealing with issues in remote areas in the same way as PSD's are. Just for your info also... did you know that big team expeditions are more likely these days to invite Vetinerary surgeons as their medic team rather than doctors?
