Refresher - Level 2 Standard Principles of Resuscitation and Trauma in sport course (SPoRTS) Sports Immediate care course for health professionals involved or interested in pitch-side care
Course Details
The responsibility of the pitch-side medical team has never been higher. Health care professionals are under more and more scrutiny in terms of skill maintenance and professional development.
The pitchside medic has a duty of care to the team, but also a responsibility to update and improve their skills. We believe in an integrated approach where Healthcare professionals from all levels and backgrounds practice skills and learn together and this pre-hospital course for those who don’t deal with critical care situations every day is designed to encourage this.
The SPoRTS courses are designed to provide those who have an on-field/pitchside care responsibility with the theory, skills and knowledge within scope of practice to assess and perform immediate life saving interventions or to package and prepare the critically unwell player/athlete for safe transfer to hospital.
The course is designed to help you recognise the common and critical injured/ill player/athlete, decide on best action and utilise practical skills and equipment to provide treatment. This includes the non-technical aspects of leading a field-of-play team, coordination and decision-making.
This approach ensures that everyone involved in the delivery of pitchside care have the ability to take on team-leader or team member roles and are trained to the same high level.
