STCW '95 Medical Care On Board Ship

AIM: To give seafarers who are designated to take charge of medical care on board ship the required training. In practical terms this is a very advanced Medical course for blue water leisure sailors who will be spending extended periods of time away from assistance. It is also required on code of practice vessels operating over 150NM from a safe Haven. Ideal for Commercial Ocean Yachtmaster Skippers.

This certificate is often referred to as the Ship Captain's Medical Course. We generally run it back to back with the Medical First Aid Course (a pre requisite).

DURATION: Five Days 0900 to 1700

PRE REQUISITES:

·     STCW\'95 Medical First Aid (within the last five years)

·     Minimum age 21

·     18 months sea time. Leisure sailors who have not logged the pre requisite sea time may take the course for their own benefit but will not receive the STCW\'95 Certificate.

COURSE CONTENT: Advanced Medical Treatment allowing you to effectively take the place of the paramedic and hospital staff who could be hundreds of miles and weeks away. The course includes the use of Category A Medical Supplies and drugs.
