'First Aid courses typically deal with the time before the paramedic arrives'

The next CYCA Medical Management for Mariners course commences on Tuesday 6th July and there are still places available in this course. This is a course of vital importance for those who sail longer voyages.
The CYCA Medical Management for Mariners Course (MMM) consists of seven nights of three-hours each at St. Vincent's Hospital in the Don Harrison Simulation centre, followed by a three-hour practical session taught by Helicopter Rescue Paramedics aboard a yacht at the CYCA.
During the course, participants are shown how to treat and stabilise a patient and prepare and package the injured person for rescue by helicopter or any other means of rescue that becomes available.
The CYCA Board approved the CYCA MMM course as an equivalent qualification that can be used to satisfy the eligibility of crew requirements for CYCA Category 1 and 2 races.
The next CYCA MMM course commences on Tuesday 6 July and the cost is $600 for CYCA members and $650 for non-members.
For further information contact reception at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia on 02 8292 7800 or reception@cyca.com.au
Course dates: Tuesday 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th July and 3rd 10th and 17th August 2010, plus night on yacht.
Why is this course so vital? Here's why...
All sensible sailors take a First Aid course as preparation for undertaking even a short journey by sea.
However, good as they are, these courses typically deal with how to react to a medical emergency in the first half hour or so before the paramedic arrives.
This is not sufficient for all but the shortest of voyages, and the CYC is seeking to fill this knowledge gap with 'Medical Management for Mariners'.
