Overview
Our Expedition & Wilderness Medicine course set on the shores of the stunning Lake Bohinj offers the same great content as our UK-based courses with additional workshops, a night out bivvying and more time outdoors.
You’ll spend over half your time focusing on practical group work and there’ll be a chance to explore the mountain behind the hostel. Our team of experienced expedition medics will deliver various lectures covering the essential content you need to know out on expedition anywhere across the globe. At the end of the course we’ll spend a night out building our camps and bivvying under the stars, your final challenge will be a search and rescue exercise designed to test your skills in combination.
Accreditation will be offered through the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. We estimate 30 hours of CPD will be awarded for the complete course.

Do you need travel and health insurance?
The UK Foreign Office advises,” The EHIC won’t cover medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment, so you should make sure you have adequate travel insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment and repatriation.”
We never advise travel without adequate insurance, there are a wide variety of options at a very affordable rate.…it really is worth it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was varied from beginning to end with a good balance of lectures and practical workshops. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions. Topics that I was hoping to be covered over the week all were – as well as additional topics that I hadn’t necessarily thought of before. Accommodation was basic but all that was needed as you spend so much time doing activities (who wants to spend time in their room?!). The kitchen staff were very accommodating and made good alternative meals for vegans/ allergy sufferers. I had a great time – thanks!
