Abstract

There’s no harm in hoping for the best as long as you’ve prepared for the worst.

Stephen King

Highly publicised incidents of concussion, sudden cardiac death and heat-related illness have moved the topic of emergency medicine to the forefront of sports medicine discussions. Situations threatening life or limb require advanced medical knowledge, skills and appropriate equipment to ensure immediate and expert care for the best possible patient outcomes. Clinicians responsible for athlete care at any level, from grassroots to elite, should undertake a recognised and accredited medical emergency care course.
