Manchester Wilderness Medicine Society

Manchester Wilderness Medicine Society Interested in expedition medicine, prehospital care, military medicine, humanitarian aid, tropical medicine, search and rescue medicine... Join us!

Manchester Wilderness Medicine Society (MWMS) was refounded in 2009 by a group of medical students at Manchester Medical School. Over the past few years, the society has only become stronger, establishing itself as one of the most active student societies in the medical school. MWMS makes a concerted effort to be the 'practical society', giving attendees at its lectures and training sessions real

skills which they could apply themselves if the need arose. This covers things like the use of items of equipment, to practising carrying an injured casualty. We also hold several lectures each year, usually based around areas which it is hard to give hands-on experience in. MWMS events are open to any student at Manchester University with an interest in the event subject (though a level of healthcare knowledge may be presumed). MWMS is not a profit making organisation. Any monies raised are used to purchase new equipment to increase the training opportunities we can offer. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
