Wilderness and Expedition Medicine

 

WEMS holds skills sessions, lecture nights, weekends away, and also run trips to national conferences throughout the year. Our interests include: pre-hospital care, military medicine, expedition medicine and critical and road traffic accident care. The wide range of training we give means we have something for everyone; being a mountaineer is definitely not a requirement! Our society is open to everyone with an interest, medics and non-medics alike.

Our programme this year includes: emergency medicine teaching series, Freshers Weekend (not to be missed!), talks from professionals, Winter Skills Weekend, Conferences, Wild Trails competition, opportunities for research, Water Skills Weekend, and of a healthy amount of socials and adventures throughout the year!

All new members have the option to become affiliated with Mountaineering Scotland, an organisation representing people like us who love the outdoors, and who provide training and guidance to the club throughout the year. When purchasing a membership, we will request some further personal details in order for us to fill out your Mountaineering Scotland membership preferences - these details will not be used for any other purposes, and will only be seen by the necessary members of our committee.
