Tutors clearly very knowledgeable and engaging. Far From Help Part 2 - Kelly MacFarlane
The course Advanced Medicine definitely exceeded my expectations - no matter how much feedback and participants' comments you read on a website there's always a suspicion that these might have been exaggerated - but not in this case! - Leah Reilly Advanced Medicine
Their [WMT’s] presentations and lectures inspired us immensely and demonstrated that being a part of an expedition was a real possibility. Morocco Expedition - Laura Irwin and Reza Noori, The Adventure Medic
... sometimes you come across people who are delivering a service or a product that is so good, so well designed and delivered, and so far ahead of the competition that they’re really operating in their own self-created realm of excellence. Advanced Medicine - Martin Holland, blog
The course instructors were really inspirational and a whole lot of fun, being approachable on the course and socialising in the evenings. Expedition Medicine (winter), Chamonix - Victoria Ormerod, The Adventure Medic
Fantastic instructors. Really enjoyable and I will be back. - Matt O'Rourke Advanced Medicine
It is an extremely impressive delivery team. Well done. Advanced Medicine - Dominic Irvine

WMT has set the standard by which wilderness first aid courses are judged. Far From Help - Richard Madden, Telegraph
Without doubt this type of course is a must for anyone who is in the business of expedition medicine or who would like to learn more before committing to a full blown expedition. Expedition Medicine (winter) Chamonix - Wendy Russell, BMJ Careers
Without doubt the most useful course of its kind that I have been on. Advanced Medicine - Richard Traveri
This was one of the best courses I have been on. During my two months as an expedition medic in remote parts of Ethiopia and trekking in China I used much of the knowledge and many of the tips and skills learnt on this course. Expedition Medicine and Field Skills (Chamonix summer) - Alice Mavrogordato, BMJ Careers
Waited nearly a year – big expectations. Way exceeded them. Advanced Medicine - Jamie Annetts, Exped Adventure
I am planning a trip abroad after completing my foundation year 2 and I would never have felt confident or competent enough to do that without going on this course. Morocco Expedition - Alison Evans, BMJ Careers

My first course with WMT. It will not be my last. Advanced Medicine - Warren Dukes
I learnt many transferable skills that I hope in the future I can apply to medical situations, whether in or out of hospital, and particularly on my elective. Expedition Medic - Matthew Everson, Student BMJ
An excellent 4-days. I am leaving with increased confidence and knowledge. Advanced Medicine - Ben Keen, The Adventure Element
I love the course and knowledge gained. Thanks for the ongoing review and improvements. Advanced Medicine - Jenny Changleng, Edinburgh Academy

Excellent. Wilderness Medicine Workshop - Prof. R. Preziosi University of Manchester
... an excellent contextualised learning experience. Advanced Medicine - Richard Wood
