Course Overview:

EMFAIF is a one-day intensive course that bridges the gap between first aid and medical first aid, aimed at those advanced first aiders, sports scientists, student health care professionals and newly qualified allied healthcare professionals who are working alongside qualified health care professionals in assisting with the provision of immediate care and management of footballers both in the competitive and training environment.

EMFAiF will give successful learners a Practitioner/Learner/Refresher experience that will allow them to work alongside 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 previously. EMFAiF promotes the team-work approach and assume that learners will be working alongside other experienced health care professionals and ambulance crews in on field care and extrication.
 
Course purpose:

EMFAiF has been designed to deal with life and limb threatening injuries on the field of play and it will concentrate solely around these areas. EMFAiF 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 player A-E assessment in a pressure environment in the presence of a life or limb threatening injury. The course is continually assessed with formative structured guidance provided at the end of the course, to highlight potential for future development that can be shared with other club staff if required. 


Course pre-requisites: 
The course assumes a level of knowledge, therefore as a minimum, The FA recommends that learners must have attended a first aid course in the past, ideally an FA based course but this is not essential.

The EMFAiF course is for those practitioners assisting with medical care and extrication on the field of play and who have vast experience of first aid delivery 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 during competitive matches and training.
