MODULE 2 - TREATMENT
It has to be borne in mind that this module is intended to be purchased with MODULE 1 if extended deep sea cruising is envisaged. This would necessitate a larger vessel and more crew. There would also be a need for longer treatment until assistance is available. Thus some items are repeated from Module 1 as additional quantities would be needed. Guidance for use of some of the items and particularly the medicines that should be obtained should be sought form the Ship’s Captain’s Medical Guide. Contents: Emergency Dental Kit, Gauze swabs, tubular finger gauze bandage, crepe bandages (3 sizes), elastic adhesive bandage, surgical tape, skin closures (2 sizes), sterile adhesive wound dressings, knuckle plasters, sterile wound dressings (2 sizes), washproof plasters, Watergel dressings (2 sizes), sterile eye and wound wash spray, plastic spray dressing, Coolgel, latex gloves, vomit bags, instant cool packs, body fluid disposal kit.

A list of suggested medicines available via a Medical Practitioner’s order and an order replenishment guide are included.

MODULE 4 - SUPPLEMENTARY MEDICINES
For extended voyages there has to be the ability to diagnose and treat many minor ailments, serious conditions and accidents possibly for lengthy periods. Using the MCA regulations in conjunction with the Ship’s Captain’s Medical Guide we have prepared a list of medicines required. These medicines will need to be obtained via a prescription or signed order from a medical practitioner. Please be aware that laws governing supply of medicines differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and local advice may be necessary. This is especially the case if Controlled Drugs such as Morphine are required. Import and export licences may also be required. Therefore Module 4 contains the recommended list and the requisition letter. The modular box and tray inserts are available to hold the contents once obtained.
