SAFE Rugby Course Prepares Team Staff For Season Ahead
The new season fast approaches and just as the players get ready for the kick off so too do the medical staff. Members of the provincial and national underage/women’s medical teams underwent a one day SAFE-Rugby Level 3 Refresher course in the AVIVA Stadium this week.
The doctors and chartered physiotherapists took part in a number of lecture based talks and practical skill stations on basic life support, concussion, orthopedic and airway management as well as match day preparation.
The course was facilitated by a team under the guidance of Prof. John Ryan, Leinster Rugby and Shane Mooney, SAFE Rugby Course Co-ordinator.
The Standard Approach to Field Emergencies in Rugby (SAFE Rugby) programme was established to provide emergency care training and skills to medical staff and individuals involved in rugby union.
Level 2 courses for medical professionals involved in clubs and schools will take place on September 7th in the AVIVA Stadium, Dublin and September 29th in the Connacht Sportsground, Galway.
Level 1 courses are for non-medical personnel involved in clubs and schools.
