First Person on Scene (FPOS) Intermediate
Course Outline
The FPOS (First Person on Scene) Intermediate proves to be one of the most sought after further qualifications for Maritime Security Consultants.
For anyone looking to gain additional knowledge and skills we offer a combination of the 4 day FPOS with the STCW 95 Medical First Aid on Board Ship (+ 1 day) with emphasis on emergencies at sea and how they may be different and therefore require different treatment than land-based incidents.
This very practical course is a significant step up from basic first aid training. The purpose of the FPOS qualification is to provide immediate life support to the patient pending the arrival of definitive Pre-Hospital care. Simple, but effective interventions make a big difference to survival outcome and on completion of this course participants will have sufficient knowledge and understanding to enable them to
-
provide immediate care and response required in the first few minutes of an emergency
-
use their foundation knowledge to work individually or as a team in a variety of emergency situations
-
assess the situation and the patient’s condition and provide initial help as listed below
-
airway stabilisation
-
basic life support
-
early defibrillation
-
oxygenation
-
circulatory support
