The courses are run over a 4-day period and are based in the stunning Barrow House Youth Hostel, Borrowdale, Keswick and Britains premier training centre at Plas Y Brenin The National Mountain Centre in Capel Curig, Snowdonia. Should you wish to stay longer in Keswick or Plas Y Brenin you can make arrangements directly with the centres and there is a wide range of holiday accommodation available locally.

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 & Wilderness 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 which gives you access to extensive ongoing support.

Expedition and Wilderness Medicine is supporting the Woodland Trust, the UK's leading woodland conservation charity, by funding a dedicated site at Dufton Ghyll Wood and Brothybeck Welton near Allerdale. On completion of the Plas y Brenin course a site within the Snowdonia national park will be selected. For each UK course run a further quarter of an acre is supported.

Additionally we support the volunteer Mountain Rescue Teams. A proportion of your course fee is donated to a local mountain rescue team.

'This is the reality of working in remote locations and the Expedition Medicine and Wilderness Medicine course reflects this superbly'. Dr Sean Hudson.
