Injuries
We also take our responsibilities towards dealing with injuries very seriously.
Dr Lynsey Northeast oversees our medical cover and a team of experienced Chartered Physiotherapsits, Sports Therapists and First Aiders.
Course Leader on the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Therapy at Southampton Solent University.
We have an Emergency Action Plan in place for each venue.
As well as first aiders with each team, all players (through their coach) are able to make appointments with an experienced Sports Therapist or Chartered Physiotherapist during the tournament.
A note about concussion
We use the UK Concussion Guidelines for Non-Elite (Grassroots) Sport.
These Guidelines provide information on how to recognise concussion and how it should be managed from the time of injury.
Please note that we use the UK Concussion Guidelines even when our teams play abroad.
We take all head injuries seriously and ensure that in Sweden we have fully trained staff who are able to ensure your children are kept as safe as possible in the event of a head injury.
