World Extreme Medicine Conference 2026
The World Extreme Medicine (WEM) Conference 2026 takes place in Edinburgh from 14‑16 November 2026. Over three days, delegates experience a mix of powerful talks, hands‑on workshops and networking with medics from conflict, climate, conservation and space sectors. Core content includes pioneering techniques for extreme environments and practical skills such as expedition dentistry, wilderness first aid, and SAM splinting. The event features a large exhibitor hall, a poster competition with winners displayed, and a digital session bundle for remote access. Additional offerings include online learning modules, webinars, e‑learning portals, and a range of extreme‑medicine courses (e.g., Prolonged Field Care, Wilderness Medicine, Polar/Space Medicine). Attendees can earn CPD/CME credits, join the WEM membership community, explore fellowship opportunities, and enjoy social events like the traditional ceilidh dance party.
