World class medical training
Courses are held at the MSOS training centres in Palma, Southampton, Antibes and Fort Lauderdale, or onboard your own 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.
Bespoke & specialist training courses
Courses can be created for any scenario including care of children, the elderly, diving injuries or use of a kit or equipment.
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.
