Medical Safety Page...
Wherever possible, the home Club should ensure a registered medical practitioner or other suitably medically qualified person is in attendance throughout the match. Prior to the start of a match, the home Club shall inform the Referee as to whether or not a doctor or registered medical practitioner is available.
The home Club must provide access to a working telephone (whether a mobile or otherwise) adjacent to the pitch and vehicular access for emergency vehicles.
Rugby is a physical contact sport. Injuries can and do occur as a result of playing rugby, either through isolated injuries or through continuous playing of the game over time. Participants should always consider their own fitness before commencing the playing of rugby and before any game. Participants should consider their own medical advice before playing and especially following an injury (following concussion this is mandatory).
Each Club is responsible for reporting all injuries that may result in an insurance claim to the RFU’s insurance brokers.
Each Club must report to the RFU or as it may direct in accordance with the RFU’s injury reporting system any injury which results in an individual being admitted to a hospital save for those taken to an Accident or Emergency Department and allowed home from there and any death occurring during or within 6 hours of the game finishing.
