Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sports Partnership runs Sports First Aid Courses to assist Sports Clubs in the county to provide a safe environment for those participating in sport.
On completion of this course, participants will be certified in emergency response training and be able to provide necessary first aid while awaiting the arrival of the emergency services. First Aid is an essential skill to have particularly when you are dealing with physical or sporting activities.
The course will cover the following areas in Sports First Aid:
Accident scene management
Patient assessment
Respiratory emergencies
Wounds and bleeding
Head injuries and unconsciousness
Fractures and injury to bones
Burns, scalds and electric shock
We deliver two public Sports First Aid courses per year. These are in person on Saturdays between 10am and 5pm. Keep an eye on our What’s On Page.
