This is the site of the British Hyperbaric Association.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy uses specialised equipment and experienced personnel to deliver oxygen at higher than atmospheric pressures. The safe and rational use of this therapy is increasing as medical and paramedical staff become familiar with its potential benefit by well-established research. The European Committee for hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) advocates hyperbaric oxygen for the first line treatment of various medical conditions including;
Air or Gas embolism
Decompression Illness
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Gas gangrene
Necrotising fasciitis
Post-radiotherapy tissue damage Preparation for surgery in previously irradiated tissue

In addition, the USA Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine Society (UHMS) supt the use of hyperbaric oxygen for the following additional conditions;

Crush injury
Severe haemorrhagic anaemia
Selected problem wounds
Compromised skin flaps and grafts Refractory osteomyelitis
Osteoradionecrosis
Thermal burns

Since 1991, NAUSICAÄ has been determined to raise public awareness about the importance of managing the oceans and their resources as “Caring for the Blue Planet,you can make a difference”.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) examines and investigates all types of marine accidents to or on board UK ships worldwide, and other ships in UK territorial waters.

As an island nation, 97% of the UK’s trade by weight is by sea, and there can be no doubt that shipping is vital to the UK economy. Our fishermen and fishing communities also rely on the sea for their livelihood, and many of us use beaches and the coast for leisure and sport. We have 10,500 miles of outstandingly beautiful coastline.

This Agency is responsible throughout the UK for implementing the Government’s maritime safety policy. That includes co-ordinating search and rescue at sea through Her Majesty’s Coastguard, and checking that ships meet UK and international safety rules. We work to prevent the loss of lives at the coast and at sea, to ensure that ships are safe, and to prevent coastal pollution Safer Lives, Safer Ships, Cleaner Seas.
