The INSPIRE 22 Team have made it to the South Pole!! 🇦🇶

We are so incredibly proud of their achievement, smashing their expected time in just 47 days 💪🏼

Team photo pending! Stay tuned for more details of their experience and the fascinating research that has come out of it!

The Inspire 22 team broke a few records:

- Officially the largest expedition to ski to the South Pole
- Team member Nadja is the first Danish woman to ski to the South Pole
- Devon (the guide) set a world record for guiding 6 expeditions to the South Pole

Lots to celebrate!

Day 2 of our conference yesterday was great fun. We had workshops on breathing, airways, circulation and disability & exposure. The afternoon involved mass casualty moulages, with an earthquake and a cave collapse scenario 💥

[KCL Wilderness Medicine Society @KCLWMS]

We have covered airway skills, improvised splints, improvised lifts, haemorrhage control and more!

Since we have been away from Twitter for a while, we want to catch up you to speed! We are over halfway through this year’s training course, an internationally accredited training programme. We had amazing applications, and ultimately chose 26 KCL and intercalating students.

[KCL Wilderness Medicine Society @KCLWMS]

Last year’s course inevitably went exclusively online due to covid, so this year we were thrilled to be back in person running practical workshops as part of our training course.

[KCL Wilderness Medicine Society @KCLWMS]

We have a hybrid course this year, with in person lectures, practical workshops & virtual talks from international speakers. We are lucky to have been joined by @shawnapandya , @benabo , @Go_Inspire_22 ‘a Major Natalie Taylor, Dr Lizzie Thorne, Dr Mike Conroy & our KCL lecturers

[KCL Wilderness Medicine Society @KCLWMS]

That’s Day 1 of the conference all wrapped up! We can’t wait for tomorrow’s day of workshops and moulages!

[KCL Wilderness Medicine Society @KCLWMS]

Our conference team have worked really hard on this year’s conference, and our Day 1 talks have been an excellent start!

This morning we were lucky enough to have some excellent talks by @Space_Doctor and Dr Nick Hassan, discussing our theme of ‘Bringing the Wild into Medicine’ 🏔

[KCL Wilderness Medicine Society @KCLWMS]

We have been locked out for a while, but we are back on Twitter, just in time for Day 1 of our conference!
