Community Injury Protocols
HKFC Junior Youth Rugby does have a first aid team available on training days at the Club to help should our athletes receive injuries when training. They will be at the Club on training days and usually positioned in the blue seats under the Commentary Box or on Happy Valley 1. They will be noticeable wearing their first aid vests. Obviously they may not be there constantly; your Head Coach and Team Manager will be familiar with the personnel and will have contact numbers for those on duty that day.
It should be noted however, that these first aiders are not medical doctors but are there for soft tissue injuries and first aid only. HKFC Junior Youth Rugby follow the HKRU Community Injury Protocol, found here
- For urgent cases, you should seek treatment via a government hospital. The nearest Accident and Emergency to Hong Kong Football Club is Ruttonjee Hospital, 266 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
- Should the injury be non-urgent you should seek appropriate care as per your personal insurance cover e.g. government/private hospital or General Practioner
- Please note HKFC does not provide accident insurance cover for players, therefore parents of players are strongly recommended to take out their own insurance to provide optimum cover.
The Hong Kong Rugby Union (HKRU) does keep track of serious injuries and concussions, and following such an incident you would be encouraged to submit an Injury Report Form at https://www.hkrugby.com/forms/injury-report where the HKRU Medical Department will follow up with you.
