UEFA Doctor Education course takes place in Astana

The programme is implemented within the framework of UEFA Doctor Education programme and is aimed at improving the qualifications of medical professionals.

The course is a three-part programme designed to teach the key skills required in sports competitions. Particular attention is paid to initial casualty assessment algorithms, teamwork, emergency response and UEFA standards.

The workshop takes place over an intensive three-day programme:

 On the first day, participants learn the principles of initial casualty assessment (SSS, BBB, ABCDE), practise cardiopulmonary resuscitation using an automated external defibrillator (AED), practice airway management and teamwork in an emergency.
 The second day is focused on working with head and internal injuries, concussion diagnosis, advanced CPR with medication support, and providing care for acute conditions (anaphylaxis, seizures, bronchial asthma, hypoglycemia).
 On the third day, participants work with injuries to the extremities, pelvis and chest, practise methods of stopping bleeding, pneumothorax decompression and infusion therapy. The final stage of the course will be combined scenarios, team practice and exams.

At the end of the course, participants will receive certificates of completion. In the future, they will have to pass an exam, successful completion of which will allow them to obtain the international Pro category within the UEFA Doctor Education programme.
