From grassroots clubs to organised sporting events, injuries and medical emergencies can occur without warning. This practical one-day course equips learners with the knowledge and confidence to provide first aid in sporting environments, helping them respond effectively when immediate care is needed.
Throughout the course, participants develop a solid understanding of first aid principles within a sports setting. Training begins with scene safety, casualty assessment and the Chain of Survival, before moving on to DRAB and ABCD assessments, barrier protection and recovery position techniques. These foundations help learners understand how to approach emergencies safely and effectively.
A significant part of the day focuses on life-threatening emergencies. You'll receive practical training in adult, child and infant CPR, learn how to use an AED and understand the correct response to heart attacks, drowning incidents and choking emergencies. Hands-on practice helps reinforce key techniques and build confidence in emergency situations.
The course then explores a wide range of injuries and illnesses commonly encountered in sport. Topics include bleeding management, fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains, head injuries, concussion assessment, spinal injuries, burns, eye injuries, chest injuries and environmental conditions such as heat and cold emergencies. Additional modules cover asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes, epilepsy, shock, fainting and other medical conditions that may affect participants during sporting activities.
Training can take place at sports clubs, workplaces, community facilities or suitable private venues. This flexible approach allows teams, coaches and organisations to arrange professional first aid training at a location that suits their needs.
Sessions are available throughout Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas, including Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham, The Chalfonts, Buckingham, Milton Keynes, Tring, Berkhamsted, Hertford, St. Albans, Oxford, Watford and Northampton.

Practical exercises form part of the course, with instructors providing guidance throughout the day. Learners can develop their skills in a supportive environment designed to encourage confidence and participation.
Delivered by experienced frontline medics, the course combines accredited training with practical knowledge gained from years of emergency response work. This helps learners understand not only what actions to take, but why those actions are important.
Rather than relying solely on theory, training focuses heavily on practical application and real-world scenarios. Participants leave with valuable skills that can be used confidently in sporting environments and beyond.
This course is designed for anyone involved in sport or physical activity, including coaches, trainers, teachers, volunteers, club officials and parents. It is suitable for both organised sporting environments and recreational activities.
