Maritime Aviation have partnered with Medical Support Offshore (MSOS) Ltd who provide comprehensive, worldwide medical support and training for an extensive range of clients, based on land, at sea and in the air.

MSOS is approved by the MCA to provide training courses such as Medical First Aid and Medical Care. In addition, MSOS also provides specialist courses on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the use of oxygen and defibrillators, advanced wound repair and more. Familiarisation courses are also offered, upon delivery of a new kit to a boat.

MSOS courses place emphasis on teaching practical skills which will be of benefit in the event of medical problems offshore. The courses are also designed to teach crew how to use the equipment and medicines provided in their medical kits.

Courses may be held at the MSOS training centres in Palma, Southampton and Fort Lauderdale, or on board the client’s vessel.

MSOS instructors are all medically qualified, and have extensive experience as sailors. They know what it’s like to deal with anything from a sore throat in the North Atlantic, to a broken leg on the foredeck of a boat in the Southern Ocean.
