I have more first aid certificates than I care to think of, but cant help but think that there will be an incident one day where I feel out of my depth.

So does anyone have any recommendations for a sports trauma course?

Should have said that it was for a physio working in sport.

PHTLS for the outdoorsie win (just expect to do a few years training and for your camelbak to gain around 20kg)

Seriously though, let common sense prevail, try not to flap, if your uncertain just start again at your DRCABC (or wot eva thems teaches these daze) & and if you don't know what to do take their pulse or google it (or phone for an ambo).

Talk to Gecko Training - very good friend of mine who was involved in the RFU set up, helped with inventing Beach Rugby, set up the National Lifeguard Training Centre, a multi year Ambo Paramedic and no runs his own independent centre.
If I was in trouble he is one of only two people I would want to come help.
