Rugby is a dangerous sport and accidents will happen which cannot be prevented. It is vital that your club is prepared! Below we offer you our list of trusted experienced professionals who can make sure your club is adequately prepared.

FIRST AID
Very often a rugby club has more than one team. Most times the 1st team has medical cover on the sideline. However when we get to the lower teams this is often no more than parents and club members. If a member of these teams is injured during a game it would be best practise to have someone on the sidelines with a knowledge of sports first aid.
It is proven that appropriate care at the the earliest possible time will significantly improve the chances of a full and speedy recovery. A valued member of your squad has every chance of returning to play quicker if they recieve good first aid immediately after their injury occurs.

DEFIBRILLATION

Defibrillators save lives in the case of sudden cardiac arrest. A Sudden Cardiac Arrest can happen to anyone at any age whilst playing sport.
Defibrillators are very effective at restoring heart function and are an essential peice of kit for any rugby club.
Does you club have a defibrillator? Do your members know where the defibrillator is? How many people in your club are trained to use it?
More than one team in your club – have each team manager trained?
Does the club you are visiting have a defibrillator? Do they know how to use it?
Making a difference to one or all of these questions starts with you and your club members.
