Global:Injury procedures - Return to the field

Return to the field

1. If your injury involves free flowing blood,
   1. You must leave the field immediately
   2. The bleeding must be stopped and the wound dressed before you return to combat.
2. If your injury includes any level of suspected concussion (even without loss of consciousness), we strongly recommend you follow international sporting guidance on managing your return to the activity, i.e. be symptom free for 14 days before return to any contact training, and wait at least 21 days (and have been symptom free for 14 days) before return to competitive contact activities.
3. If your injury includes a period of unconsciousness, you will not be allowed back onto the field for remainder of the event (including multi-day events) and you are encouraged to seek immediate medical attention as loss of consciousness due to injury is a medical emergency.
