Every session follows the same three moves
- Enter a scenario. A patient presents with what a ship’s clinic would actually hand you, and nothing more.
- Make decisions with limited information. Choose assessment, investigation and treatment as the picture changes, against the clock.
- Review the debrief and practise again. See what each decision cost, what current guidance says, and run the case again.
Core training runs offline after setup, so a lost connection does not stop a case mid-way.
Written and reviewed by a practising clinician
Dr Ezekiel Aluda Osolika — MBChB, DipPEC EM, FEBEM, MSc Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine
An emergency medicine physician holding the European Board of Emergency Medicine fellowship, with direct shipboard, expedition, aeromedical and remote-care practice.
Every scenario, pathway and ECG is authored by that clinician and reviewed against current guidance before it ships.
Educational training only. It does not give patient-specific advice and is not a substitute for local protocols or clinical judgement.

Who is The Ship Doctor designed for?
Doctors, nurses, paramedics and medics who work where hospital backup is delayed — ships, offshore installations, expeditions and remote clinics — and students preparing for those roles.
What works offline?
Core training and reference content work offline after setup. Installing the app, purchases, restoring a subscription, account services and updates all need a connection.
What is included in the books and how are they delivered?
Each book is a single searchable PDF. Checkout and delivery are handled by Gumroad, and the download link is issued immediately after payment.
Is this accredited training or patient-care software?
Neither. It is educational simulation and reference material. It carries no CME or CPD accreditation, and it does not give patient-specific advice.
Educational use only — not medical advice. Disclaimer
