Sir Ranulph Fiennes comments on the Extreme Medicine 2014 Conference
Extreme Medicine Conference 8-11 November 2014, Royal Society of Medicine, London
Sir Ranulph Fiennes is delighted to endorse the Extreme Medicine Conference Series. The subject matter, close to his heart, brings together the disparate but complimentary, and often overlapping fields, of Extreme & Expedition, Humanitarian & Disaster and Pre Hospital Care medicine.
It is medicine that saves the lives of not only the most remote explorer but also populations devastated by natural disasters, covering the most in need in the most vulnerable of places.
The conference serves to bring global leaders in these areas to share knowledge, network and introduce new equipment and techniques as well as presenting cutting edge research. It is this excellence in extremes which Sir Ranulph is proud to be associated with.

Professor Craig Franklin joins the Extreme Medicine Conference line up
Craig Franklin Deputy Head of School, Professor in Zoology, School of Biological Sciences, The University of Queensland
We are delighted to welcome Professor Craig Frankln to our speakers lined up for the next Extreme Medicine Conference in London. Biologist and Professor of Zoology at The University of Queensland, Australia, Craig Franklin has been studying fish, sharks, frogs and reptiles for more than 25 years.
Craig acts as the Director of Research for the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve, chair of the Animal Section for the Society for Experimental Biology (London, UK) and an editor for the Journal of Experimental Biology (Cambridge, UK).
Examining how animals respond to environmental change and how they function within their environment has taken Craig on expeditions from the tropics to the poles. Craig has published over 200 scientific articles, including papers in the prestigious journals Science, Nature, and Proceedings of the Royal Society.
The underlying emphasis and direction of Professor Franklin’s research deals with the flexibility and plasticity of physiological systems in organisms especially in response to extreme conditions and environmental change. He ask questions about how animals interact with their environment and takes an integrative approach, examining animal performance and then explores the physiological, biochemical and molecular changes and mechanisms that underlie the whole animal traits.
Professor Franklin, is a strong proponent of wildlife conservation and has a number of research projects assessing the impact of environmental change and human disturbance on threatened species. He maintains a strong interest in highlighting the threats to the conservation of wildlife in Antarctica, which he covers in his book “Antarctica Cruising Guide” AWA Press. He has undertaken 10 research expeditions to Antarctica.
He has been awarded a number of prestigious prizes during his career, including being appointed as an Australian Professorial Fellow by the Australian Research Council; receiving an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Göteborg, Sweden; and receiving the President’s Medal from the Society for Experimental Biology, UK. He is also acknowledged as an outstanding teacher, being a recipient of The University of Queensland Award for Excellence in Teaching and a finalist (twice) in the Australian Awards for University Teaching.

London’s Air Ambulance features in BBC Two – An Hour To Save Your Life (#AHTSYL) – 3-part series starting 4th March, 9pm
This new series looks at innovations in emergency medicine and the improvements in patient outcomes as a result of doctor-led pre-hospital care and fast-tracking heart attack/cardiac arrest, stroke and trauma patients to specialist centres.
It was filmed over the summer of 2013, spending two months with London’s Air Ambulance including with our Physician Response Unit (PRU), a medical emergency fast response team who are tasked to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients, at The Royal London and London Chest Hospitals and with the London Ambulance Service. Filming also took place in Nottingham and Birmingham.
Across the three programmes, nine patient stories are featured, five of these are involving London’s Air Ambulance in the pre-hospital phase. The key clinicians involved in each patient case conducted in-depth retrospective interviews so the style of the programmes is very much clinicians taking the audience through what happens.

Election to the Royal Society of Medicine's Wall of Honour
Expedition & Wilderness Medicine co-founder and Managing Director Mark Hannaford has been honoured by the prestigious Royal Society of Medicine in London by being inscribed on their Wall of Honour.
The official citation quotes
‘We would like to take this opportunity to applaud the pioneering work you in the field of the promotion of expedition & wilderness medicine in the UK’ …
‘through your work a sustainable and accredited training system has been established, with a very vibrant medical community growing up around these activities, and has led to improved protocols and medical cover in the world’s most remote corner. What an extraordinary contribution to modern medicine.’
The origins of the Royal Society of Medicine date back to the 18th century when, throughout Europe medical societies began to be founded with the object of bringing together physicians and surgeons in order to further scientific, professional and social communication.
Mark is the co founder of Expedition & Wilderness Medicine which provides the highest level of medical training to medical professionals through courses accredited by the Wilderness Medical Society for Fellowship of Advanced Wilderness Medicine (FAWM) and established the ‘Extreme Medicine’ Conference series which alternates between the Royal Society of Medicine in London and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
Mark also co-founded Across the Divide which since its inception has facilitated the raising of £50 (US$77) million for charitable causes with the aim of providing innovative experiences that are challenging and safe aimed at both the charitable and corporate market. The challenges are also delivered with a keen dose of humour, which is always a great motivator!
Mark’s experience, both on expeditions and in business, mean that ATD has the capability to develop bespoke programmes for brand and employee development, as well as customer development events – which will stretch and cement capabilities and relationships. ATD has an impressive range of corporate and charitable relationships ranging from Princes Trust , BBC’s Children in Need Appeal, UNICEF and Cancer Research to Ernest & Young, Centrica, NPower and Barclays Bank. Creating ATD’s Corporate Social Responsibility arm in 2007 earned Mark the prestige of being awarded BT’s Essence of the Entrepreneur Award in 2008. He was also made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts to join his election as a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in the early 1990s.

Dr Sean Hudson joint Conference Medical Director and co founder of Expedition & Wilderness Medicine invites you to the first ever Extreme Medicine Conference
4 weeks to go and the conference is shaping up beautifully.
My intention has always been to bring together the 3 specialties involved in the care of patients in a remote environment to create an atmosphere in which we can all learn from each other and inspire young medics to become involved in what I see as a fantastically stimulating and exciting specialty. I think the biography page on the conference website speaks for itself and looks a fabulous prospect of cutting edge medicine from many of the leading individuals in their field of remote medicine.
In the current atmosphere in medicine we all have to demonstrate our endeavours to develop our academic, clinical and practical skills. We have been fortunate that the conference has been awarded 31.75 CME by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). If you can demonstrate that a particular lecture has altered your medical practice you can double your CME. We have also been awarded 32.25 FAWM points for those who are pursuing the Fellowship of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine. For more information on this postgraduate fellowship awarded by the Wilderness Medical Society please visit their website here.
I’m looking forward to the conference and hope to see many of you there
Dr Sean Hudson
