Welcome!

WMS takes you outdoors, to experience the Scottish countryside in all its glory, rain or shine! In addition to outdoor activities we hold skills sessions, lecture nights and attend national conferences. Wilderness medicine encompasses mountain-top, deepest jungle and urban roadside; basically anywhere you don’t have immediate access to medical facilities. We have an interest in all aspects of pre-hospital and emergency care. Medicine in the wilderness is a totally different experience that requires far more outdoor skill and less medical knowledge. Our society is open to everyone with an interest. You could gain the knowledge to make a difference!
