Diving and Hyperbaric Operations

Following his ordeal in 2021, which can be read here, Hayden has for the time being stepped back from active commercial diving and diving supervision at this time.

He remains available though on an ad hoc or contractual basis for hyperbaric services detailed here and for training on the online system or the direct pathway, Hayden is available to cover chamber operator, inside attendant and hyperbaric supervisor duties to cover times of staff shortage during annual leave, illness and unforeseen circumstances. A daily rate commensurate with location, i.e. international, national or regional, plus transport and accommodation if applicable, applies.

Health and Safety Legislation and Practice

30 years of experience in diving in one form or another has led to a broad and deep knowledge base of UK and international diving regulations. Coupled with this is a solid knowledge of UK regulations pertaining the administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in both a medically supervised environment and also that of a non-medical wellness environment common to complimentary therapists and type 3 therapy centres. A comprehensive advice service is available on a proven time and cost basis which includes a full bespoke write up detailing all the various legislation and regulations applicable to diving and hyperbaric therapy. In real time this information, while publicly available can take months to collate and analyse. This service shortens start-up times considerably and provides a solid grounding and understanding of what due diligence is required and which regulations might apply to your specific operation. Health and safety practice provides an overview of the steps required to implement a comprehensive safety manual. A custom manual writing service is available on a day rate following an initial assessment and consultation.

Training and Training Materials

Our preferred method of offering services is via the online learning platform however we can still provide custom or standardised training material and this is available on request. This includes subject matter on physics, physiology, health and safety, gas handling, chamber layout and design, compliance, insurance, international standards and verifying bodies, allied support equipment, electrical safety and hyperbaric medicine and the research pertinent to the medical benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) including indications and contra-indications.

Please Note: This is not a medical service but rather an in depth sharing of scientific and technical information and should not be construed as, or sought as, medical advice.

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR OWN MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL FOR PERSONAL MEDICAL ADVICE.

Start up and Commissioning

Reputable suppliers offer hyperbaric chambers for sale with a comprehensive certification pack on purchase, although not all suppliers are equal, and not all do, and many chambers, especially in the wellness space, are simply not compliant with accepted construction and safety standards. We offer a free buyers guide part 1 and part 2 which can downloaded free from the online training platform all products page or on the embedded links.

Reputable suppliers also usually include delivery, installation and initial commissioning of the chamber itself only though. Very few include a comprehensive training. This covers things like calibration of gauges, compliance with various manufacturing standards, if indeed your chosen chamber is compliant, regulations and classifications but doesn’t necessarily include overall facility setup and commissioning to a client in a turnkey type operation.

In many cases from that point after delivery, you’re on your own and It can be harrowing at times and certainly overwhelming. Consultation, documentation packs and final testing and commissioning of units is available on request. While it’s not a hand holding service, it can be beneficial to have someone accompany new operations in the first weeks of operation. To create daily and weekly habits required to efficiently move forward. An accompanied start-up phase can prove highly beneficial to get clients going in the right direction. To some degree this can also be done remotely with remote advice being very useful to existing clients. Followed up with an annual review, this can prove a valuable third-party objective overview of operations. To this end we HIGHLY recommend the online training packages on the learning platform. These contain all of the information you should need to confidently offer a hyperbaric service.

Technical Consultation

All chamber systems and allied equipment require daily, weekly and monthly maintenance and record keeping as part of a planned maintenance system (PMS). Key points of observation and dynamic technical assessments aren’t always easily identifiable to non-technical operatives and assistance is available in this regard.

Timeously identifying which components and systems require regular maintenance and inspection, or specific intervention is essential and a planned maintenance and inspection system can be customised to suit the unit in the form of checklists and operating procedures. Minor repairs and third-party testing and overview can be provided. Ordinarily annual checks are undertaken by verifying bodies such as Bureau Veritas, Det Norske Veritas or the likes of Lloyds. These are also called classification societies. The verifying body is usually chosen by your insurance company and assistance is also available to manage these occasions as they happen, putting an additional set of eyes and ears in your corner.

Client and Therapy Centre Literature

Most HBOT centres provide prospective clients with reading matter such as pamphlets, brochures and fact sheets to help them understand the process and it’s benefits. These can also include client onboarding forms, forbidden items in the chamber, and client medical self-assessments prior to treatment and also relevant contraindications.

Much literature on various indications is available on request and is shared as scientific information only. This is not a medical or healthcare service but rather the sharing of and explanations to scientific information and literature. There is also much available covering subjects such as physics, physiology and technical aspects available for licenced publishing into your own printed material. Some of this is freely available to read on the website however copyright subsists, and copyright licence must be agreed before reproducing any of this material in any form including but not limited to; digital storage and display, pamphlets, brochures, information packs, fact sheets, safety advisories and so on. In most cases costs are for licence to use the materials required and materials can be customised to a clients specification.

Outreach & Engagement & Speaker Services

Hayden is available to deliver presentations, lectures and public engagement on the above mentioned rates. He is willing to engage on almost any platform from grass roots to Parliament. awareness is viewed as key to bringing hyperbaric oxygen therapy more into the mainstream.
