Mike Greene
I live in the Lake District, where I can enjoy the hills. I have been the National Medical Director for Mountain Rescue England and Wales, a doctor and team leader for a mountain rescue team for 36 years. I hold a variety of National Governing body awards in outdoor activities.
I am a member of the International Alpine Rescue Medical Commission and a provider for the Diploma of Mountain Medicine. I provide training on the International Diploma of Expedition Medicine. I trained in London and Nottingham and was involved in Pre-Hospital Care in BASICs, NWAS, and air ambulance services. I was an Emergency Medicine Consultant in Cumbria for 26 years. I have worked on the ski fields of New Zealand and at a High-Altitude Rescue Post in Nepal. My published research has been in the areas of acute mountain sickness and mountain emergency medicine ( mountain rescue analgesia, airway care, limb injury management, traumatic brain injury, hypothermia, mountain major incident management).
My mountain adventures have taken me to Africa, Kashmir, Nepal, China, New Zealand, Norway, Greenland, Peru and of course Europe. I have completed the Munro's and my favourite Welsh mountain is Tryfan. My ambition is to ski with more style and less fear.
