This Certificate offers a unique opportunity for sports and exercise medicine (SEM) doctors and physiotherapists to acquire a deeper knowledge and skill set in managing the emergency scenarios they may experience in their day-to-day work.

In a supportive learning environment, this course will provide the practitioner with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to manage pitch-side emergencies (within their scope of practice). It explores the evidence base for current clinical practice guidelines and provides a practical and systematic approach for dealing with pre-hospital emergencies.

There is a particular emphasis on the practical skills and the pharmacology/therapeutics needed to manage the broad range of life-threatening emergencies encountered in SEM.'
