RYA First Aid March Course 2022
The one day RYA First Aid At Sea Course covers all the basic first aid subjects, but focuses on those operating on yachts and boats with various situations looked at from a boating perspective. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or channel passages.
In a medical emergency, a little first aid knowledge and the ability to quickly administer effective first aid can and does save lives. This is especially true for those who may find themselves in a situation in a remote location. The one-day course is designed to provide a working knowledge of first aid for people using small craft and to support skippers and as a prerequisite for instructors on RYA schemes
What Will The RYA First Aid At Sea Course Teach Me?
The course is recommended by both 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
Summoning Medical Assistance or Advice by VHF
Helicopter Rescue procedures
This all practical course is delivered over 1 day by an RYA registered Instructor, at our training base at Piddinghoe Pond and includes practical and theory instruction
At the end of the course, the trainee will have a good knowledge of First Aid requirements on and off the water and is intended for RYA Instructors as part of their instructional qualifications, those helping with on-water safety, and Safety Boat helms and Crew.
The trainee will have an ongoing assessment, and when successful, an RYA certificate will be awarded. If the RYA standards are not met, an action plan will be agreed.
Included in the cost is the RYA First Aid Manual and the Certificate. This expires after three years and must be re-validated after attending another course.
