Newcastle Wilderness Medicine Society runs a packed schedule of wilderness medicine trips and events throughout the year.
In the past the programme has included small group ABC/BLS teaching sessions, evening talks from inspiring doctors working in developing countries and extreme environments, and outdoor activities such as walking, climbing, orienteering, mountain biking and off-road driving. Some of the society favourites are weekend residentials to destinations including Glencoe, the Cairngorms, Lake District, North York Moors and local treasures, the Cheviots and Northumberland. These have included navigation, winter skills and ABC/BLS training and where possible, we have visited local medical services, in particular, mountain rescue.
Here's the plan for this year. It's busy busy busy...
10th - 12th February Winter Trip to the Cairngorms, Scotland
Date TBC Marines Survival Weekend
9th - 11th March National Wilderness Medicine Competition
Date TBC Teaching Weekend
Date TBC Mystery Weekend
On top of the above, we will be having more teaching evenings, more socials, and more fun then you could ever have hoped for. It'd be great to see you all there.
