​Become one of the Unique Expeditions Elite!  This course is not for the faint-hearted.  Journey deep into the Cairngorm plateau with your expedition team.  Where our Level 2 Mountain Medicine Course gives you a taster of the skills you'll need to survive this environment, this Advanced Course really provides the opportunity to perfect and practice these specialist skills.  You'll have plenty of opportunity to practice winter mountaineering, moving on steep ground, rope work, rescue techniques, and even how to construct your own snow shelters. But also be prepared to face complex scenarios and grueling casualty evacuations in the harshest of Scottish winter conditions.  Those brave enough to take on the challenge will come out with first-hand experience and a sense of achievement no other civilian wilderness medicine course even comes close to.

Led by qualified Winter Mountain Leaders and Mountain Rescue professionals, this course is labelled "extreme" for a reason.  Conditions in the Scottish mountain range can reach minus 27 degrees and less with windchill. This advanced level training course is aimed at those with some experience hiking in cold or snowy environments, however no prior winter mountaineering experience is necessary.  A resilient attitude and decent level of fitness however will be helpful.  For safety reasons, all candidates will receive a friendly call from one of our directors after booking to ensure you are prepared to take part.

​

Suitable for all members of the multi-disciplinary team; from junior doctors to experienced paramedics, medical students to budding expedition leaders.  As in the real-world medical and non-medial team members will work beside each other as you practice delivering exceptional medical care in this harsh environment.

Spaces are limited to ensure safety on the mountainside, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
