The University of Lancashire is proud to sponsor the International Society of Mountain Medicine World Congress in Hathersage as part of its commitment to advancing education, research and clinical practice in mountain, rural and remote medicine. 

Through the University’s Centre for Mountain Medicine, we work at the interface of academia, clinical care and expeditionary practice, training and supporting practitioners who operate in austere, high-risk environments worldwide.

 

Our internationally recognised MSc and Diploma in Mountain Medicine, aligned with ISMM, UIAA and ICAR standards, reflects this commitment by combining rigorous academic study with applied clinical and field-based learning. 

Sponsoring the World Congress in the UK provides an opportunity to support the global mountain medicine community, foster collaboration, and contribute to the shared aim of improving safety, care and outcomes in mountain environments.

THERMARMOUR is a patented technology and a brand of Interweave Textiles Ltd, a UK business, based in Yorkshire, an area famous for its textile heritage. Our team of engineers and product designers are committed to producing high-performance solutions for the Medical, Emergency and Military sectors. First responders require simple solutions that work. Produced in our UK factory, THERMARMOUR is a unique multi-layered fabric that helps to mitigate the effects of hypothermia from the moment it’s applied. THERMARMOUR is trusted by partners from the NHS and UK national ambulance services to European militaries.

MyDefib, (a trading name of WEL Medical Ltd), is focused on improving access to defibrillation in the environments where it matters most — and where the gap between cardiac arrest and treatment is hardest to close.

Through HeartHero, we are extending that access into remote and expedition settings where professional response times are measured in hours, not minutes. Portable, intuitive, and requiring no medical training, HeartHero is designed to put effective intervention in the hands of whoever is first on scene.

In mountain and wilderness environments, distance, terrain and time all work against survival. HeartHero is designed to shorten that window — complementing the skills and protocols of trained rescuers rather than replacing them, and supporting earlier treatment at the point where it makes the greatest difference.
