The Ship Captain's Medical Guide is intended primarily for use on

vessels where there is no medical professional, such as a doctor,

on board. It provides assistance and direction for crew members

when it becomes necessary for them to assess and treat trauma

and medical illness. Ships and fishing vessels which carry

Category A or Category B stores are required also to carry a

copy of the guide.

This new guide, the 24th edition, continues to keep pace with the

rapid changes in best-practice medicine, medical technology and

global communications. It also provides reference for medical

training courses, and a framework for crew members within which

to think, when faced with unfamiliar medical problems at sea.

It contains:

• flow charts to aid evaluation and treatment

• incorporation of 'red flags' to aid identification of potentially

life-threatening conditions

• clear, authoritative advice and easy-to-follow guidance

• step-by-step illustrations to explain emergency procedures

• cross-references to further detail

• anatomical illustrations

What's New in the 24th Edition

• revised spinal immobilisation section

• updates to antibiotics guide

• new content on Covid and infectious diseases

• updates to the emergency algorithms

• new lighter, flexi-bound format using 100% recycled material
