RYA Small Craft First Aid 1 Day None. Basic First Aid procedures.
It’s the middle of the night and you are halfway across the channel
– when one of your crew suddenly collapses. Would you know what to do?
The RYA small craft First Aid course is designed to teach you exactly what
to do in these situations.
From the minor ailments such as headaches,
sunburn and small lesions through to the immediate response to serious medical
emergencies, the course covers the situations that a yachtsman is likely to
encounter.
There is particular emphasis on resuscitation techniques and the
“first care” of a man overboard victim.
Your instructor will
explain the procedures for obtaining outside medical assistance such as
“pan pan” and the helicopter rescue service and can advise you on the
correct first aid stores for your own boat.
This course is a must for all
who sail, and skippers should encourage their crews to attend.
Remember it
may be you who needs attention! At the completion of the course you will be
issued with the RYA small craft first aid certificate.
This certificate is
valid for 3 years from the time of issue and is prerequisite for those taking
the
Yachtmaster Offshore Examination. The RYA First Aid Course is held in
our modern classroom and includes all materials, morning and afternoon tea.
Lunch is not included. You can contact us in the office on 01489 565100
