The course syllabus has been especially designed by the RYA to cover the handling of medical emergencies on board, whether due to illness or accident.  The course provides practical training in basic first aid and symptom diagnosis, including:

bulletcardio-pulmonary-resuscitation (CPR)
bulletblood loss
bulletshock
bulletunconsciousness
bulletrecovery of the casualty by air-sea rescue helicopter

When cruising offshore an extended interval can occur before professional medical assistance is available, and so the MMYC implementation of this course also explores the improvisation of materials and techniques to protect and comfort the casualty as necessary.

Recognised First Aid training such as provided by this course is a pre-requisite to the RYA Yachtmaster qualification.
