SUMMARY:British Mountain Medicine Society's Science Day: 13th November 2019
DESCRIPTION:Finally it's here! Published below is the full programme for the British Mountain Medicine Society (BMMS) Science Day that's taking place in Bamford\, at the Bamford Instiute\, Main Rd\, Bamford\, Hope Valley S33 0DY on Wednesday 13th November 2019. \nThe cost of the day (£70 BMMS members\, £90 non members) includes - lunch\, dinner and a signed hardback copy of Mike Gill's "Edmund Hillary: A Biography". \nTickets can be bought here. We realise that the cost may prove to be a real barrier for some who wish to attend. We would encourage anyone in this position to get in touch and we'll do everything we can to help. \nWhat an eclectic programme it is too! We've scientists\, clinicians and researchers from across the UK speaking on a wide range of fascinating topics. From the latest research on the brain\, heart and GI tract at high altitude\, to the evidence behind recent developments in mountain rescue techniques and training. We've also got talks on the evolution of MEDEX's highly popular "Travel at High Altitude" booklet and the science that underpins the climbing of Pik Lenin\, a 7134m giant that lies on the border of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan! \n\nThe German translation of "Travel At High Altitude". The booklet is now available in 16 languages and has been downloaded more than 25\,000 times. "Travel at High Altitude" can be found here. \nIf all this wasn't enough\, we've posters and short presentations on a diverse range of subjects ranging from the role of beetroot juice in acclimatisation to the management of a frozen shoulder in Antarctica and the high altitude illnesses of Sir Edmund Hillary! \nThe final session of the day will celebrate the 1960-61 Silver Hut Expedition and it's enormous contribution to mountain medicine. Alongside two original members - Jim Milledge and Mike Gill - we'll also be joined by Annabel Nickol and the award winning writer Harriet Tuckey. \nJim Milledge's fascinating account of the Silver Hut Expedition can be found here. \n\n\nHarriet Tuckey has won several awards (including the Boardman Tasker Prize) for her biography of Griffith Pugh. Pugh\, Harriet's father\, was the physiologist behind many of the innovations that led to the first ascent of Mt Everest in 1953. In addition\, Pugh was also the Scientific Leader of the 1960-61 Silver Hut Expedition. At the BMMS Science Day Harriet will talk about the origins of the expedition and the work that was conducted on it. \nWith the science wrapped up\, we'll move to Outside in Hathersage. Here\, we'll tuck into a curry and hear about Mike Gill's latest book - "Edmund Hillary: A Biography". A fitting end to a unique and very special day. We hope you can join us! \nThe cost of the day (£70 BMMS members £90 non members) includes - lunch\, dinner and a signed hardback copy of Mike Gill's "Edmund Hillary: A Biography". \nTickets can be bought here. We realise that the cost may prove to be a real barrier for some who wish to attend. We would encourage anyone in this position to get in touch and we'll do everything we can to help. \nCPD points from the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) have been applied for. \n\n\nMike Gill was a 22-year-old medical student when he followed up on a newspaper article that Sir Edmund Hillary was looking to recruit climbers for his next Himalayan expedition. As a climber\, photographer\, doctor and writer\, Mike went on to become closely involved in many of Hillary's subsequent expeditions. This wealth of experience has now led to the writing of\, "Edmund Hillary: A Biography" and will be the subject of what promises to be a fascinating talk! \nTimetable \n0945 - 1000 Welcome and Introduction \n1000 - 1200 Session 1 \nCardiovascular responses to high altitude - failing or coping?
