RGS-IBG Expedition Medicine Manual
David Warrell and Sarah Anderson (ed.) Profile Books 2002. 398pp. ISBN 1 86197 434-5.

Important note: This book was published in 2002 so some of the information may now have been revised and most importantly the recommended drugs may also have changed. The latest advice can be found in the Oxford Handbook of Expedition Medicine, 2nd Edition, 2015.

 

Section 1: Pre-expedition medical planning provides advice and information on avoiding accidents and illness through proper planning and preparation.

Chapters from the pre-expedition medical planning section of the manual can be downloaded below.
