RYA First Aid Courses - A one-day course covering first aid from a boating perspective. The course is aimed at anyone afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or on cross channel passages.

Aims

You may be the vital link between the casualty and professional help and this course will give you the skills and confidence to deal with first aid situations aboard the vessel you are on. The RYA first aid course is designed to give those afloat, a working knowledge of first aid procedures for injuries and illness at sea. It is ideal for use on inland waterways or up to 60 miles, offshore as well as shore side.

 

Unlike many training centres, PHSS has a resuscitation manikin, the Laerdal QCPR Manikin.  With a digital read out, this will assist you delivering Quality CPR.  You will improve your compression and rescue breathing percentage, and evaluate your progress during the course.  This is a superb training aid to saving life.  You will be surprised by the results, with the live feedback available, compared to how you think CPR should be done.  By improving the CPR quality, we can ensure more lives are saved.
