Proficiency In Medical Care

This course covers the syllabus required by the STCW Code 1995 Table AVI/4-2. It is a management-level course aimed at those holding or aspiring to MCA Certificates of Competency in deck specialisations and those designated to take charge of medical care on board ships.

The course aims to prepare students to be able to deliver longer-term medical care at sea until professional medical help can be obtained. It includes care for sick and injured patients, head and spinal injuries, ear, nose and throat problems, bleeding, care of wounds, pain relief, suturing, diseases, injections, dental care, hygiene and medical records.

A pass is valid indefinitely but must be renewed every five years if you are the master or have designated responsibility for medical care on board.
