What
prior training is required to come on a WMT course?
Only the course Far From Help Part 2/AMRFT
Refresher requires another WMT course as a pre-requisite
(any WMT programme or other non-WMT training might be accepted
– please ask) otherwise you don’t even need
prior first aid training to come on a course.

Do WMT courses meet NGB award
standards?
Yes – WMT courses (not the doctor’s conferences)
will satisfy the first aid certificate requirement for UK
National Governing Body awards such as the Mountain Leader, BASI and British Canoe Union instructor awards. However, WMT courses
are not HSE approved. All UK based Far From Help & Advanced Medicine courses include CPR/resuscitation training according to the latest guidelines.

How
long are WMT courses valid for?
We would recommend a refresher programme at least every
3 years to keep abreast of changes in recommended medications
and to refresh clinical such as putting up an i.v. drip
and suturing.

All UK based programmes are suitable for lay people and the Expedition Skills course will also interest doctors. WMT recommends Far From Help if you want to learn
about injury/illness and using prescription medications.
Attend Advanced Medicine for Remote Foreign Travel if you
also want to learn about giving injections, suturing wounds
and using intravenous fluids. Please contact WMT if you
are still unsure of which course to attend. Both Chamonix
conferences and the Morocco Mountain Medicine Expedition are suitable for doctors, nurses, paramedics
and medical students.

Does
WMT provide on-line travel related advice?
Generally no, but if it's a simple query we'll try to help
or at least point you in the right direction. For a one-off
fee or a retainer WMT can provide consultancy - travel advice, medical
screening and medical kit advice - which might be of interest
to commercial expeditions, travel companies, film crews
and the like. See the Links page for travel medicine sites.
