Course Overview: 

The course is a training programme designed to address the needs of doctors and physiotherapists and other therapists who are primarily responsible for the pre-hospital management of the acutely injured or ill athlete in a sports environment.

ATMMiF is a two-day intensive course at the advanced level, aimed at those allied healthcare professionals who are ultimately responsible for immediate care and management of footballers both in the competitive and training environment.

ATMMiF will give successful learners a Leader/Practitioner/Learner/Refresher experience that will allow them to act as the primary care provider in the sports pre-hospital environment of football. the content will compliment current skills and knowledge base and the expectation is that basic first aid qualification has already been acquired. ATMMiF promotes the team-leader approach and assumes that the learners will be leading other experience health care professionals and ambulance crews, and does appreciate in some football settings, especially training, that you may be the only practitioner and therefore does emphasise these skills as well as refreshing currently established clinical skills already acquired in daily practice.

ATMMiF looks at the acquisition of core skills and does not solely consider professional qualifications, to be the Team lead the skills must be present irrespective of professional qualification. 

Course purpose:

ATMMiF has been designed to deal with life and limb threatening injuries on the field of play and the two days will concentrate solely around these areas. ATMMiF is not a first air course nor does it cover basic injury management in football. The course is a mixture of practical and didactic learning, with supporting demonstrations and question and answer sessions to meet all learners needs. learners will leave the course with the ability to preform a structured player A-E assessment in a pressure environment in the presence of a life or limb threatening injury. the course consists of both formative and summative assessment, with 16-hours (minimum) of pre-course preparation. A resit will be allowed on the day, please refer to the course manual for assessment criteria.

Course pre-requisites:

- Be a doctor with a GMC registration number
- Be a physiotherapist, paramedic or nurse with a HCPC registration number
- Graduate Sports Therapists: Sports Therapy Degree and Member of Society of Sports Therapist and have successfully completed the FA Level 4 ITMMiF in the past 3 years or have an expiring ATMMiF qualification.  
Failure to supply any of the above numbers will mean your application will not be considered.
Sports Therapists should email their pre-requisites to education@thefa.com
Failure to do so before the application deadline will result in your application being rejected.
If you are a sports therapist and are not a member of the SST, then please submit a copy of your degree certificate, or proof of membership with an alternative association to education@thefa.com. Again, failure to do so will mean your application will not be considered. 
If you are a third year student, please send proof of enrollment to education@thefa.com.

Applicants will be contacted within seven days of the application deadline to confirm if they have been offered a place on the course. Successful applicants places will only be confirmed on the course once full payment has been made.
