Important to keep some Life Support & Pitchside Trauma skills updated

SPACE has a defibrillator in the reception area. It has never been used (mercifully). As part of the ongoing training for staff in sports however, our staff are skilled in recognising when it may be of use.
JT & Stephen Mutch have been at the magnificent surroundings of the Aviva Stadium in Dublin to further their skills & update their knowledge.

Broadly the Irish programme for SAFE-Rugby has similar aims as the Scottish Rugby Union's excellent pitchside emergency care course SCRUMCAPS which we outlined on these blog pages a year ago when last updating (Critical Care Pitchside SPACE Blog Oct 20122) & there was hugely positive feedback from around the Irish provinces from the different persons servicing the needs of Irish rugby and also general sporting communities.
