SPoRTS Advanced – 2-Day Course

SPoRTS – Standard Principles of Resuscitation & Trauma in Sport – Advanced is a two-day immediate-care course for healthcare professionals who may be responsible for managing injured or acutely unwell participants in the pitch-side or field-of-play environment.

Building on the principles covered in the 1-Day SPoRTS course, the Advanced programme incorporates resuscitation, trauma and medical emergency management within a structured two-day programme.

Course Content

• Structured assessment of the injured or unwell player
• Recognition and management of medical emergencies in sport
