Frequently asked questions

Can the role require overnight travel?

Yes, with expenses, accommodation, working time, rest, safeguarding and equipment custody addressed.

Who decides return after concussion?

The authorised medical pathway and staged protocol govern clearance, not the player or coach alone.

Must a Team Physio travel to every away fixture?

State the required competitions, departure and return expectations, accommodation, expenses, cover and working-time arrangements explicitly.

Who calls for emergency help during a match?

The event medical plan should allocate immediate roles, communication, ambulance access and handover before play begins.

Can the physio tell a coach an athlete's diagnosis?

Share authorised participation information and necessary risk, keeping wider clinical detail confidential unless proper authority exists.

How are suspected concussions managed by the Team Physio?

Follow the sport's applicable assessment and removal pathway, prioritising welfare and documenting decisions without selection influence.

May the physio carry medicines in the medical bag?

Only under lawful supply, storage, record and administration arrangements supported by suitable training and club governance.

What happens when no replacement physio is available?

The club should use its documented minimum medical-cover rule rather than pressuring an employee to approve unsafe participation.
