Sport Injury (Pitchside Course)
This is a 1 day course for the sports coach, club physio, match official or volunteer parent who are pitchside (or in the studio/dojo) when an accident occurs.
This course is popular with active team sports participants (rugby, football, hockey) where tackles and tumbles are common place.
The core of the course is about making good return to play or cease to play decisions. We will guide you through what your immediate actions after the incident should be and give you a straightforward decision making process to apply to making return to play decisions for sports players and participants.
The course also covers managing when to use ice, and sports specific first aid concerns such as managing winding, and dead legs. Serious injury requiring immediate medical attention is reviewed as well as conditions such as compartment syndrome.
The course does not cover basic life support; CPR, choking and dealing with collapse.
