First Aid Afloat cover

Aimed at the novice first-aider, this book is intended to be used at the time of the accident or illness. Each topic is designed to be read at a glance: the language kept short and simple and, where appropriate, photo sequences show exactly what to do. As long as you can read, you can help. Straightforward advice allows you to take control of the situation, stabalise the casualty and provide the appropriate treatment at sea. This is an essential guide for all who go afloat.

“Even if you've done a first-aid course, knowledge fades quickly. Sandra Roberts has 40 years nursing experience and lectures at Warsash Maritime Academy. Her book is better than most: concisely written and well-illustrated, with photos, flowcharts and diagrams.” (Yachting Monthly)
