All Intramural sports fixtures at outdoor grounds will have a designated first aider. Note: a first aider may be covering multiple games so you may need to check other pitches in order to locate them.

In the event that there is no first aider available due to them treating another player for e.g. teams should inform the grounds staff of any injury or illness who will provide first aid treatment.

If an injury or illness occurs during training or friendly match in which a first aider is not provided teams should inform our grounds staff who will provide first aid treatment.

If a member of your team leaves our outdoor sports grounds and their injury or illness deteriorates resulting in attendance at a hospital, urgent care centre or doctors then we require the captain to submit the Intramural Accident Report form. This should be emailed to the Participation & Events Officer or handed in at the University Sport & Fitness Centre.

Following any report of an illness or injury you will be contacted by the Participation & Events Officer to see if any further assistance or support can be provided during any phase of recovery.

For head and concussion injuries, a SCAT test is available from the University Physio in order to determine a timescale for your return to playing sport. Costs for this will be paid for by Sports Services.
