EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROVISION FOR THE COMMUNITY GAME
England Rugby have produced this guide that provides information and guidance for clubs on what first aid provision should be in place during the different stages of Return to Rugby roadmap following the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The following guidance is for emergency first aid treatment only. As with normal practice, first aiders should only carry out first aid treatment that they have been trained to do. Any additional treatments by Health Care Professionals/Allied Health Care Professionals (e.g. physiotherapist, sports therapist) should be carried out in accordance with the most recent government and relevant association/regulatory body guidelines.
Clubs should ensure that all first aiders are made aware of the following guidance to ensure first aiders are confident that they can provide care to someone injured throughout the Return to Rugby stages following the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
