Tom Moores
Tom is the head of Outdoor Education at Exmouth Community College, the largest secondary school in the UK. He joined the Adventure First Aid early in 2009 and has worked with a variety of groups from school pupils to adults. He has organised and led successful expeditions to Africa and South America during which he had to deal with first aid incidents ranging from mundane to bizarre. He has kayaked and climbed extensively across the UK and Western Europe. At the age of 19 he climbed Mt. Lhotse which at 8,516m is the fourth highest mountain in the world. This made him the youngest person ever to climb Lhotse and the youngest British person to climb any of the worlds fourteen 8,000m peaks, all without the use of supplemental oxygen. Tom has had first hand experience of hypothermic and hypoxic environments all backed up by the theoretical knowledge from his degree in Sports Science and Physiology.
