MOUNTAIN VOICES
“Do you have something that you’d like to share with a mountain medicine audience? If so, this is for you. Sign up for a 15 minute session and talk about whatever’s on your mind. It could be your latest research, a lesson learnt from a challenging day in the hills or just a piece of advice that you’d just like to share. Whatever it is, there will be an enthusiastic audience who’d like to hear from you. But make sure you save enough time for questions!”
DIABETES MELLITUS IN THE MOUNTAINS
“Drawing from his highly popular “Clinician Corner” articles in High Altitude Medicine and Biology, Andy Luks brings together health care providers and patients to talk about how to manage diabetes in the mountains. If you’re looking for practical, evidence-based advice on managing chronic medical problems in the mountains look no further than this!”
MOUNTAIN LITERATURE
Held in a village at the centre of traditional British Gritstone Climbing. There is a great tradition of mountain literature. Many of the authors have been doctors with an interest in altitude physiology. We hope to share these traditions in a group discussion with a panel of active climbers involved in mountain literature as authors, medical historians, publishers, book sellers including the 2025 Boardman Tasker award winner. audience members will share sections of mountain related books that have inspired their medicine and/or their climbing.
