Description

Fully updated 8th edition of this easy-to-access instant guide to emergency first aid for all seafarers.

This essential guide to first aid afloat is an essential part of any on-board medical kit. Its colour-coded tabs and clear layout make it easy to use in an emergency.

This revised new edition has been updated with latest medical practice, including information relating to Covid-19, expanded information on treating burns, a new section on diving accidents, and updates to advice on certain illnesses and first aid kit contents. Clear, easy-to-follow illustrations make it ideal for crew members with limited training in first aid.

Key features include:

Concise descriptions of each medical condition
Prioritised lists of treatments
Covers all the medical emergencies likely to be encountered at sea
Fully updated in line with current guidelines and best practice
