EXPERT CARE, EVERYWHERE™

MEdiCal, TravEl and SECuriTy aSSiSTanCE – aT SEa and aShorE

When Captain Spiller of M/Y Lady Christine cut his scalp

whilst at sea, his Chief Stew called MedAire’s MedLink® Global

Response Centre for help.

After receiving an e-mailed photo, MedLink’s Dr. Collins

recommended that the chief stew numb and irrigate the

wound and apply sutures. Using the onboard equipment

and recalling her medical officer training, she listened as the

doctor walked her through the process, step-by-step.

“It was of enormous psychological value to the first aiders

and me just to have MedLink there,” recounts Spiller. “The

finished result was very professional and the doctor we later

visited in the Azores was equally impressed. I know that

having experts involved and there for the follow-up, in case

there was concussion or any skull trauma, was of enormous

comfort all round.”

Captain Spiller’s case is just one of more than 41,000 remote

medical and security cases MedAire manages every year.

To help reduce your risk exposure and manage unforeseen

events, you need the right combination of medical training,

onboard supplies and a team of experts ready to assist.

Now 25 years strong, our people, products and infrastructure

are beyond compare. At any time, you’re invited to tour our

response centres, meet our medical and security experts, audit

a medical course and watch our kits being built. You can

literally see our differences to believe them.

Training for ThE ‘WhEn’, noT ‘if’

no one can predict medical events. That’s why our medical instructors train you for the ‘when’, not

‘if’. The maritime training courses available from Medaire and yacht lifeline will provide your crew

the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully respond to medical events.

From a one-day first aid lesson for new deck hands to a week-long course for your designated medical officer, we offer a variety of training options, including custom ones like Paediatric First Aid On Board.

Developed by medical experts who understand remote medical care – as well as stringent maritime regulations – we provide hands-on, comprehensive medical instruction, specifically tailored to the maritime environment.

MedAire’s STCW 95 training is credentialed and audited by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and U.S. Coast Guard.

With our global reach and local presence, we offer flexibility when it’s time to schedule training for your crew. Training can be provided on board your yacht or at an approved training facility almost anywhere in the world.

during training, your crew will:

• Work with experienced instructors who understand

the unique challenges you face at sea and ashore

• Learn to recognise, manage and cope with common

and emergency illnesses and injuries

• Develop patient assessment techniques based on

real-life scenarios

• Understand how to use the onboard medical kits

and equipment and learn where they are located

• Practice a medical scenario and make a test call to

the MedLink Global Response Centre

• Certify to American Heart Association or European

Resuscitation Council standards for CPR and

AED usage

• Review use of the Tempus IC™, if applicable

TRAINING fOR THE ‘WHEN’, NOT ‘If’

Whilst at sea or travelling, crew and guests are prone to the

same medical issues that occur at home, plus they have greater

exposure to local diseases due to food, water or insects.

24/7 maritime medical consults. Ensure your guests and

crew receive the best care available by having them evaluated

before the issue worsens. By calling our dedicated MedLink

hotline, they’ll receive advice from one of 40+ doctors who

manage nearly 100 cases a day. And, because MedLink is a

part of a hospital’s emergency room, we’re fully staffed and

ready to take calls, at any time of day. In fact, our average

doctor response time is under a minute!

occupational consults. It’s tough when you’re a person

down due to crew illness. That’s why, when it comes to

occupational health matters, we evaluate crew thoroughly,

getting them back on the job as quickly as possible.

access to specialists. High-risk cases such as a spinal injury

or poisoning may require additional advice from a specialist.

At MedLink, we have immediate access to in-house specialists

from all fields of medicine. And, we have access to medical

interpretation in more than 140 languages – just in case.

help ashore. You might not know where to turn for

adequate healthcare when you’re travelling. This is where

we come in. Via the phone, we’ll make an initial assessment

and arrange for a local doctor, assist with transportation

and guarantee payment of medical expenses.

Provider network. From specialist doctors to charter aircraft

and local hospitals, our world-class network providers are the

backbone of our operations. Our 68,000 providers all meet

our rigid vetting and credentialing process, including

on-site inspections.

Medications. To minimise the disruption of a trip, a patient

may obtain a temporary supply of medications. MedLink

will coordinate with a local pharmacy (on the guidance of

the patient’s physician) or arrange for them to be seen by a

local doctor to obtain a prescription.

Medical escorts. For special medical needs, we will assist

with staffing an onboard medical escort for short- or long-

term assignments.

Medical monitoring. In the event of hospitalisation, we’ll

ensure quality care by remaining in regular contact with

the crew, the medical facility staff and, as needed, with

the treating doctor. We’ll provide reports on the patient’s

progress until he/she can return home (or to the yacht) safely.

access to medical transportation. If both our doctors

and your owner or management company believe a

patient’s medical needs are better met in another location,

a medical escort or evacuation will be coordinated.

account management. Keeping every patient’s medical

matters and whereabouts confidential, your personal

account manager will follow up after each case to ensure

you are totally satisfied.
