As you are aware, over the past ten years, the care of casualties has significantly improved. Often, this has been driven forward by conflict, the exponential rise in natural disasters and our increasing capacity to respond on an international scale. All of this is concomitant with a growing interest and recognition of specialised remote and expedition medicine.

Developed specifically with medical professionals in mind, the International World Extreme Medicine Conference and EXPO welcomes medical specialists (doctors, nurses and paramedics) and 'aspiring' extreme medicine university students. 

We at Expedition & Wilderness Medicine look forward to meeting you all at this exciting hallmark event.
