Sports First Aid Course Curriculum
Begin by exploring the purpose of sports first aid and the responsibilities of a first aider during sporting activities. You’ll learn why prompt action can make a significant difference in an emergency.
Before providing assistance, it’s important to assess the situation carefully. This module explains how to evaluate the scene, identify hazards, and perform an initial assessment of an injured person.
When every second counts, knowing what to do is essential. Discover the priorities of emergency care, including maintaining safety, assessing vital signs, and responding to life-threatening conditions.
Sprains, strains, bruises, and minor fractures are common in sports. Learn how to recognise these injuries and provide appropriate immediate care until further medical help is available.
Some injuries require urgent attention and careful management. This module explores serious injuries such as head, neck, spinal, and severe limb injuries, along with appropriate first aid responses.
Sports can expose participants to challenging environmental conditions. Explore first aid approaches for heat-related illnesses, hypothermia, dehydration, and other environmental emergencies.
Not every emergency involves an injury. Learn how to recognise and respond to medical emergencies that may occur during sporting activities, including conditions that require immediate medical assistance.
Complete the course by reviewing key first aid principles, personal safety considerations, emergency preparedness, and best practices for supporting injured athletes until professional help arrives.
