title: Safety on board.
abstract: NHS staff have completed a three-year project to improve the rescue and care of competitors injured at sea in next summer's Olympic Games and Paralympics. The team, which included critical care nurses, tested rescue equipment for use in water, and drew up good practice guidelines for the safe handling of casualties with spinal injuries.
