Sports First Aid Training Berkshire

First aid training designed specifically for sports coaches, team officials and club volunteers. Goes beyond standard first aid to cover concussion, on-field player assessment, musculoskeletal injuries, and the decision-making required at the pitch side.

Sports First Aid — What Makes It Different?

Sports First Aid builds on the essential skills of Emergency First Aid at Work but adds the sports-specific knowledge that coaches and officials need at the pitch side. In sport, you face scenarios that don't occur in a typical workplace — concussive incidents, sprained joints, muscle tears, suspected fractures during play, and the critical question of when it is safe to return a player to activity.

Paul Chandler delivers Sports First Aid courses tailored to the sport involved (football, rugby, cricket, athletics, swimming etc.), ensuring the scenarios and decision-making frameworks are directly relevant to your coaches and volunteers.
