Emergency aid

All clubs should have a qualified Emergency aid person present at each SBMSC match in case of injury. Some Mums and Dads may have Emergency Aid certification but if not, courses are run by First aiders, including St Johns Ambulance, Red Cross, The FA, Aylesbury Vale District Council, Wycombe District Council and others.

St Johns Ambulance Emergency Aid courses are run at Harlow Road, High Wycombe. The next course is 14th July. Please send form with remittance to the St John Ambulance Aylesbury (address on form here). Places are limited so applications will be treated on a first come basis. Parents or managers interested in gaining the qualification may find their club will assist with the cost of the course.

In addition the Berks and Bucks FA also allows you to book its First Aid courses via its own website, here.
