RYA FIRST AID AT SEA
Our one-day course covers all the usual first aid subjects, but from a boating
perspective. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers,
estuaries or on cross channel passages.
In a medical emergency a little first aid knowledge and immediate action can save
lives, especially in remote locations. This one-day course is designed to provide a
working knowledge of first aid for people using small craft and to support skippers.

Professional skippers of small craft working within 60 miles of a safe haven, including
Boatmasters;
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 from immersion and/or exposure
seasickness and dehydration
medical assistance or advice by VHF
