The Seafarers International Research Centre at Cardiff University has launched a study to investigate the health conditions of those working in the cruise and cargo shipping sectors, as well as their access to healthcare services while onboard.
Seafarers employed on cargo and cruise ships are invited to share their experiences by completing a healthcare questionnaire or participating in an interview. The information collected will be crucial in ensuring that seafarers receive the medical attention they deserve.
By contributing to this study, you have the opportunity to voice your health concerns and contribute to changes that could improve your wellbeing at sea.
For more information and to participate in the study, visit the Cardiff University Website.
