title: Medical care and human biological research in the British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit.
abstract: Health care in the Antarctic has developed rapidly over the past decade and a system of remote occupational health care has emerged based upon training of the personnel at risk, the existence of increasingly sophisticated systems of communication and the results of ongoing programmes of medical and physiological research. This paper is based upon a report made from the British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit to the Working Group for Human Biology and Medicine of the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR) at its meeting in Hobart in September 1988.
