WHAT IS THE CLUB, TALENT CENTRES OR ACADEMY ROLE IN RELATION TO FIRST AID? Each club/Player Pathway centre must assess its own First Aid needs. England Hockey recommends a minimum of one
First Aid trained individual per match or training session. Having qualified First Aiders ensures quick, effective responses in emergencies, safeguarding the wellbeing of all participants.
Key considerations include the playing location, provision by the facility, home and away fixtures, and how many members need training. Clubs can obtain First Aid kits from England Hockey’s
official supplier, Physique. REQUIREMENTS OF FIRST AID It is vital that those completing training attend a certified Emergency First Aid course lasting at least three hours, which includes
practical CPR. Refresher or re-certification is required every three years to ensure skills remain current. Read more information on the Safe Hockey webpage under the First Aid provision
section.
