What is Expedition Medicine. . .
Expedition Medicine is the leading provider of expedition and wilderness medicine training courses, both here in the UK and also in a number of carefully selected overseas locations.
Expedition and Wilderness Medicine provides quality training for expedition, wilderness, high altitude, mountain, remote, polar, diving, jungle and desert medicine practitioners. Suitable for expedition doctors, wilderness EMTs, first responders, nurses and individuals providing medical cover in remote or inhospitable environments, far from help.
We have available a resource of expedition medics who are able to provide quality film or event medical backup. From the fells of the Lake District to the Arctic, EML is able to call on a growing pool of extraordinary medics to provide medical cover whatever your event or location.

Its remoteness, inhospitality and lack of water have stopped easy travel though its hidden folds and preserved a landscape little influenced by outside influences.
However, recently an expedition to traverse its most inaccessible sections was mounted by former Namib Park Ranger Kobus Alberts from Namibia and veteran explorer and director of Expedition Medicine Mark Hannaford.
