02 | SPORTS MEDICAL EMERGENCY TRAINING:

With correct training – we can all save a life.

Emergencies always happen, anywhere and everywhere. Athletes are especially high risk in suffering a sudden cardiac death. The appropriate action depends on a matter of seconds. In most cases, the heart rhythm may be the cause and through immediate initiation of life-saving action, the healing process if very high.

This is only possible if the « appointee to help » uses the correct methods, has been well trained, disciplined and skilled. In order to be confident and capable of under-taking an emergency situation, we offer a Sports Medical Emergency training programme.
