Basic understanding of physiology, symptomatology and therapeutics.
2.
Elements of preventive medicine, notably individual and collective hygiene, and elements of possible prophylactic measures.
3.
Ability to perform basic types of treatment and supervise emergency disembarkation at sea. Person responsible for treatment aboard category A vessels should if possible receive their practical training in hospitals.

To this end, each Member State shall forward up-to-date information on the areas in which routine helicopter rescue services are provided, and the circumstances in which they operate:
to the other Member States and the Commission; and
to the captains of vessels flying its flag or registered under its plenary jurisdiction who are, or are likely to be, concerned by application of the first subparagraph of this footnote; the information shall be forwarded in the most appropriate way, for example through radio-consultation centres, rescue coordination centres or coastal radio stations.
