The Ship Captain’s Medical Guide app has over 1,100 pages of content developed by the United Kingdom's Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

The Ship Captain’s Medical Guide is intended for use on ships where no doctor is carried. The app includes recommended measures of prevention and treatment and is therefore confined to those which can reasonably be expected of the ship’s officers. Now you can have access to this information too.

Some topics covered include:

• General principles of first aid
• General assessment of the situation
• Toxic hazards
• General nursing
• Care of the injured
• Internal injuries
• Head injuries
• Eye injuries
• Ear injuries
• Nose injuries
• Mouth and dental injuries
• Burns and scalds
• Dislocations
• Sprains and strains
• Causes and prevention of diseases
• Communicable diseases
• Survivors
• External assistance
• Basic anatomy and physiology
