RYA First Aid Course
RYA First Aid
Our next First Aid Course is April 30th
1 day course
Our one-day RYA First Aid course covers all the usual first aid subjects, but from a boating perspective. It is aimed at anyone who takes to the water whether sail or motor, on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or on cross channel sailing trips.
In a medical emergency a little first aid knowledge and immediate action can save lives, especially in remote locations. This RYA First Aid course is designed to provide a working knowledge of first aid for people using small craft and to support skippers who may need to cope with an emergency on board a vessel.
It is a suitable RYA training course for:
- professional skippers of small craft working within 60 miles of a safe haven, including Boatmasters;
- the Senior First Aid certificate needed by offshore racers subject to ISAF’s regulations on first aid training.
- Students undertaking the RYA / MCA Yachtmaster Coastal or Yachtmaster Offshore examination.
The course is recommended by the MCA and HSE.
The subjects specific to boating include:
-
the recovery position in a confined space
-
CPR, including the drowning protocol
-
cold shock and hypothermia fromimmersion and/or exposure
-
seasickness and dehydration
-
medical assistance or advice by VHF
-
helicopter rescue
This course is non residential and held on our barge at Gosport Marina.
