User’s Reviews

Not really a book for your average First-Aider, but if you are a medic or have more advanced First-Aid skills, then this book is invaluable. Crammed with information, diagrams and flow-charts on everything from spinal anaesthesia to high altitude illnesses, from trauma to viral infection… and lots more besides! Even if you are an A&E Doctor, this book will provide a reassuring source of reference for planning an expedition and confirming drugs and dosage whilst away… Buy it!

An essential resource for any medic working in the exhibition field. Comprehensive overview of all aspects of expedition and wilderness medicine.
