Course Overview:

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

ITMMiF will give successful learners a 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 a basic first aid qualification has already been acquired. ITMMiF promotes the team-work approach and assume that learners will be working alongside other experienced health care professionals and ambulance crews, but does appreciate in some football settings, especially training that you will be the only practitioner and therefore does emphasise team leader skills as well as refreshing currently established clinical skills already acquired in daily practice.

 

Course Purpose:

ITMMiF 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. ITMMiF is not a first aid course nor does it cover basis 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 learner needs. Learners will leave the course with the ability to preform a structured casualty 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 8-hours of pre course preparation. A resit will be allowed on the day, please refer to the course manual for assessment criteria. 


Course pre-requisites:

The course assumes a level of knowledge, therefore as a minimum, The FA recommends that learners must have a medical degree (registered with GMC), be a Physiotherapist/Paramedic registered with the HCPC, a currently practicing nurse registered with the RCN or graduate sports therapist, or be working/studying towards one of the above (ideally 3rd year student).
 
Please email a copy of all relevant medical qualifications upon application to confirm that you meet the course requirements.

Who is it for?:

The ITMMiF course is for graduate medical and allied to medical health care professionals (see course pre-requisites for detail). However for those practitioners assisting with medical care and extrication on the field of play and who have vast experience of first aid delivery this course may also be of use. Inclusive of (masseurs, fitness trainers, sports scientists, coaches), who may also be responsible for the management of the players in some footballing environments and who may be working in isolation without immediate access to medical provision or who work as part of the on-field care team during competitive matches and training. However, it is essential that these allied practitioners have already succesfully completed the FA EMFAiF course in the past 2 years to be considered.
