RYA Small Craft First Aid Certificate


The RYA small craft First Aid course is designed to teach you exactly what to do in situations 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, how to treat a patient with hypothermia and the first care of a man-overboard victim.

Your instructor will explain the procedures for obtaining outside medical assistance such as pan pan medico and the helicopter 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!
