Strengthened First Aid Support for all Millwall Teams

Congratulations and thanks to our eleven new Millwall Rugby first aiders who undertook a one day first aid course at the clubhouse on Sunday 6th March.

This RFU approved first aid course covered basic first aid and also a rugby-specific section. This specific section provided training on injury reporting, the management of concussion, spinal injuries and functional testing to determine the ability to "return to play".

The new Millwall first aiders will provide cover for the youth and adult teams.

The aim, following this training, is to have at least one qualified first aider at every game. This will also become an official position on the team sheets.

If you are a qualified first aider and would like to make yourself available to assist at games, please contact firstaid@millwallrugby.com. Alternatively - please email if you would like to be informed about any future first aid courses.
