Who Can Attend:
This is an essential course for sport and exercise Healthcare Professionals and Manual Therapists who are routinely expected to deal with medical and trauma emergencies despite having little or no formal grounding in these areas. Evidence continues to show how quickly these skills erode and how real-world variables can confuse the time-critical decision making process. This course allows the pitchside practitioner to re-evaluate their emergent skills and knowledge and discuss their own concerns and experiences amongst their peers. The certificate is accepted by all sport and therapy governing bodies for insurance and CPD purposes (6 hours).
