Pitch-side Medical Care and Medical Bag Contents
In response to a number of enquiries, The FA has produced an advisory document relating to pitch-side medical care for footballers at all levels. It gives some guidance on the importance of having qualified pitchside first aiders wherever football related activity is taking place and having the resources to deal with any problems that may occur. We hope you find this document both informative and useful.
The FA has two specific medical courses that should be mandatory for those providing a pitchside first aid service:
Level 1 FA Emergency Aid
3 hours duration
New protocols take effect from 1 Aug 2006
Level 2 FA First Aid For Sport
21 hours duration
(14 hours contact 7 hours distance learning which may be done over several weeks).
