Revised for its second edition to include the latest national and
international guidelines, the Oxford Handbook of Expedition and
Wilderness Medicine continues to be the essential resource
forexpedition medics and all well-informed travellers, including
gap-year students. Clear and concise, readers can rely on this
handbook to provide the knowledge and practical advice they need.
It enables efficient preparation and planning before the journey,
advises on camp logistics, risk management, and medical problems
during the trip, as well as highlighting rare but important risks
to those visiting remote areas. Focusing on preventative measures,
the handbook also contains chapters dealing with crisis management,
emergency care, and evacuation from challenging environments. Now
containing more guidance about the obligations of a clinician
joining an expedition, and the ethical approach to such work, the
second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Expedition and Wilderness
Medicine also provides an increased emphasis on medicine in various
extreme environments. With revised and additional illustrations,
more colour plates, and an increased use of important algorithms,
this edition will give you the confidence and skills you need to
travel to any extreme or remote environment. Updated with the
support of the Royal Geographical Society, and incorporating the
combined knowledge and experience of a team of experienced
clinicians and expeditioners, this is a practical, easy-to-use
guide to all aspects of expedition and wilderness medicine. Anyone
who might ever step into the natural countryside, away from tarmac
or gravelled paths, to seek the freedom and beauty of unspoiled
nature needs to be aware of the content of this book, to enhance
their enjoyment, and minimise the risk of pursuing adventurous
travel.
