Providing learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding.
High quality coaching, officiating and first aid / immediate care support all contribute to reducing the risk of injury occurring. Therefore it is important that individuals in such roles keep up to date with training and information on safe practice both on and off the pitch.
The Emergency First Aid in Rugby Union (EFARU) provides learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding required to give care and manage minor injuries and illness and potentially life threatening conditions specifically focusing on those occurring in a rugby environment. The EFARU course sits on the national qualification framework and is recognised as an equivalent to the Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and is transferable into the work place. The course includes extra rugby specific elements and is designed for coaches, referees and volunteers who are designated as a first aider and are responsible for providing pitch side cover at both
training and matches.
