WEMSI is a unique organisation delivering courses in pre-hospital emergency care. The volunteer faculty is made up of actively practising, highly experienced doctors, paramedics, ambulance technicians, climbers, paddlers, cavers, skiers, explorers and adventurers! Each year they come together from all over the world and volunteer their time to provide a high staff-to-student ratio course that aims to equip students with the knowledge and practical skills that will help prepare them for patient care in a remote environment.

The WEMT course is the gold standard in preparing for situations when you could be in a remote setting with a patient. Mountain Rescue team members, expedition leaders, humanitarian professionals, scientists working remotely, and military medics are among some of the people who have benefited in the past.
