This is a one day first aid course and will cover all the basics from a boating perspective.
It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat but as it is an MCA approved course it does meet the requirements for Coastal Skipper, Yachtmaster, Advanced Powerboat and any RYA Instructor tickets requiring a first aid certificate.
Along with the basics, this course will include:
Recovery Position in confined spaces
CPR including drowning protocol
Cold Shock and Hypothermia
Seasickness, Dehydration and Heat Exhaustion
VHF medical assistance and helicopter rescue
This course is classroom based and we shall not go on the water.
As it is a First Aid course, there will be photos and descriptions of injuries and illness, if this is going to be an issue please discuss with your instructor before the course starts.
