Our Story

KCL Wilderness Medicine Society is about medicine and research in places where others won’t go. Focussing on pre-hospital care of casualties in the wilderness, we explore problems created by working in environments ranging from disaster zones and humanitarian crises to high altitude, space and polar regions.

Voted KCLSU's Best New Society in our first year, KCLWMS has grown into one of the university's most exciting student groups.We welcome all King's students - not just medical students - and run a range of exciting trips, talks and expeditions throughout the year.

We are an exciting, diverse and inclusive society, welcoming people of all backgrounds to join us in our pursuit of adventure and healthcare provision!
