Issue date
Wellington Ocean Sports will be running its first ever Offshore Medic Course on 12 and 13 January 2015.
Offshore Medic is an advanced course for offshore skippers and crew. The course details the management of medical/trauma emergencies onboard for up to five days without medical assistance. We have chosen these dates as they don't clash with any of the main offshore sailing events.
A prerequisite for this course is holding a Coastal Medic Certificate that is less than four months old.
Modules covered include:
1. Trauma Management
Advanced airway management
Oxygen administration
Advanced chest injury management
Fluid resuscitation
2. Medical Management
Medical assessment
Symptomatic treatment
Administration of medicines
Advanced wound closure.
Further details and booking are available on our website.
