We have experience from Everest to Kilimanjaro, Mt Kinabalu to Mount Fuji, Alps to Scottish Highlands, Greenland to North America, Patagonia to Pakistan – to the Mountainous regions of New Zealand - and many more.
We can provide support and training for teams heading to mountainous regions, from fitness considerations, equipment, altitude considerations, acclimatisation, first aid and medical training, logistics to risk management and country briefings.
We have trained Mountain Rescue team members (advanced medical training) to try service military expeditions travelling to extreme altitude overseas in locations where Prolonged Field Care would be a necessity), to motorcycle expeditions operating at high altitude. Our specialist Prolonged Field Care training has been used in anger by altitude expeditions in very remote areas overseas.
​
We also deliver (as R2Ri) modules on one of the Diplomas in Mountain Medicine as externally contracted subject matter experts given the sector leading expertise of the Faculty members in question.
