Guest guest Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I think Kishore is quite right about the lone medic at the scene......  However the company I work with has started sending some of their specialists on Advanced First Aid courses and when they come back from there we train them up in to the onboard equipment and simple procedures so that they can give some assistance at the time as generally I have found the galley staff not are too busy and also not too interested or enthusiastic about training or instruction...!  P From: Kishore H <kishorep1914@...> Subject: RE: ALS course?

I agree that the remote site medic does play the role of the team leader, but it's my humble opinion that we don't really get much of a team to work with in most places. Yeah we do train the galley hands in basic first aid, being part of stretcher party and all that, but in an emergent situation, it's usually the medic all by himself trying to juggle ten things at a time. Maybe it's just been my experience and others have had better. > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello Everyone, > > > > I'm an Off Shore medic. > > > > Where oh where can I do an ALS course in the UK as the places I've > tried > > require that I have to be a Doctor,nurse or Paramedic/EMT to attend? > > > > Regards, > > > > Witty. > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
