All mountain professionals need to be able to demonstrate that they are keeping their knowledge and skills up to date.  We do this through continuing professional development.  Health care professionals who hold the Diploma in Mountain Medicine or the International Diploma in  Expedition Medicine must undertake  relevant CPD if this forms part of their scope of practice.  Other mountain professionals are required to keep up to date with their first aid skills and it can be useful to do this is a multi disciplinary group. 

Our weekends have CPD points allocated by the Faculty of Pre Hospital Care of the  Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.  You will receive a certificate of attendance  that lists the topics that have been included in the weekend. 

We provide accommodation, catering and a program of instruction as described in the weekend brochure.  We supply all teaching materials. We pay the registration fee for the accredited CPD. 

We do not provide travel, personal insurance,  personal clothing or equipment.  We do not supply alcohol.
