Undertaking medical research during military adventurous training expeditions presents a unique set of challenges to medical personnel, and for those considering doing so in the future the task may seem daunting. This article details some of the challenges faced whilst undertaking high altitude research on a recent Defence Medical Services (DMS) adventurous training expedition to the Dhaulagiri circuit in Nepal. By discussing what led to some of the problems encountered, how they were overcome, and in some instances how they could have been avoided in the first place, it is hoped that the article will act as a guide for others who plan on undertaking future research in a similar environment.
