Our ninth World Extreme Medical Conference (WEM20), 17th & 18th October 2020, will look a little different this year.
Moving to our new virtual environment for our 2020 extreme medicine conference, we have gathered 40+ of the most adventurous medics on the planet (and beyond) to provide you with a truly extreme fix of expedition, disaster, pre-hospital, endurance and space medicine.
This means greater opportunities for all you aspiring extreme medics around the world to attend from wherever you are.
#VirtualWEM20 takes place on 17th & 18th October 2020, where you’ll experience the biggest and best content we had planned for the stage at WEM20 – plus all-new panel sessions and speakers.
The full line-up and what to expect from our inaugural virtual conference will be released over the coming weeks, including how you can take part.
The conference focuses on a number of interrelated medical fields: Pre-Hospital, Disaster & Humanitarian, Expedition, Endurance and Extreme Sport, Space and Extreme Medicine. We work with a range of multi-disciplinary partners, and together, offer a programme of fascinating talks from world-renowned experts in their field – from Arctic explorers to vascular surgeons, remote medics to NASA & ESA personnel.
Our regular conference in Edinburgh (returning 2021) features practical plenaries and hands-on workshops that explore field-proven techniques and provide you with medical ‘hacks’ to inspire and enhance your skills. These sessions are designed to help you to become a more effective practitioner of remote medicine and allow you to truly take medicine to the ‘extreme’.
