Training in aquatic emergencies at Club facilities

The Institute of Medical Studies (IEM) is a leading institution for emergency training in Spain, offering a wide range of educational programs that cater to everyone from lifeguards to specialized emergency medical practitioners.

IEM’s programs include a Middle Degree in Emergency Healthcare Technician, a Higher Degree in Emergency Coordination and Civil Protection Technician, and a Master’s in Comprehensive Assistance in Urgencies and Emergencies. Among these, the latter stands out for its focus on responding to emergencies outside of hospital settings, especially in challenging environments like mountains or beaches.

Realistic practical training at CNE

Practical classes related to underwater scenarios are conducted at the Club Nàutic Estartit facilities, providing students with the opportunity to learn the most advanced and effective techniques for aquatic emergency situations. These workshops include watercraft rescue exercises, Zodiac operations, and shoreline rescues.

Students receive training on how to retrieve a patient from the water, search for and transport a person to the beach, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient in cardiac arrest, and handle multiple trauma patients in the water. To ensure students are well-prepared, IEM provides all the necessary equipment and materials for each specific situation.

These educational programs benefit from the collaboration of experienced professionals who play a significant role in safety and emergency operations. Practical classes are taught by experts from the Underwater Specialist Groups (GEAS), the Mossos d’Esquadra, the Firefighters of Catalonia, Red Cross, and Proactiva Open Arms, among others.
