Due to the overwhelming success of our Polar Medicine Course in 2009 we have now added some new dates. The dates for the NEW polar course are 22-28 February 2009, the course is being run by Dr Martin Rhodes and Dr Lesley Thomson.
The Polar Medicine Course is ideal for those working in polar and arctic environments. The course has been featured in the BMJ several times and we are really proud of the success.
Tutors will develop the skills of participants through practical sessions and hands-on experience, rescuing and treating cold-water immersion, frostbite, altitude related illnesses and hypothermia, all managed whilst in the field. Polar days and nights will be filled with developing winter survival skills from; emergency shelters, navigation, digging snow holes, snow mobiling, dog sledding, snow shoeing, plus much more.
