Video-based first aid course

The Maritime Medical Emergencies Joint Venture has released a video-based first aid training course called Onboard First Aid: Immediate Actions. Parts one and two of the three-tape set feature medical professionals portraying shipboard personnel as they demonstrate the immediate actions required for stabilising the condition of an ill or injured crewmember. Part three is a test cassette that allows the viewer to evaluate his or her understanding of the subject matter. Part four is a workbook, which serves as a study guide that can be issued to crew. Included in the workbook are test forms that can be used for scoring and certification of those who successfully complete the program. Contact: John Sabella & Associates Fax: +1 206 217 0899
