Getting your support staff trained & confident to help the lead medics in an emergency at your County.

In an emergency, your physio can only do so much on their own. Having a team of trained responders takes a huge amount of pressure off your lead medic & most importantly - protects your players.

The CCEFR course is run at your ground so scenario-based training reflects your real situation in your own environment. Actions plans, communication & co-ordination of your medical response have to be practiced so that you're prepared to manage a real medical emergency.

Managing an emergency in cricket is a team effort. Advanced first aid skills & familiarisation with medical equipment are essential for your coaches (including S&C) & sport science staff to keep your players safe.
