It wasthe biggest attendance for a ICIR L2 course to date

The participants were all medical practitioners in the provinces of SARU. Itwas run over two days in order to cover all the course modules - predominantly indoors. All the work was done in three groups which helped a lot with getting all the practical work done in the time at thedisposal.

17 participants attended in total : 9 female and 8 male

Next step ? Monitor these newly certified ICIR practitioners in the application if what they have learned in their provinces. It wasvery useful to ensure that rugby injuries are treated in a uniform manner.

"The course was entirely funded by SARU, it was a great workshop with amazing intern. I would totally give 9/10 on the quality of the organization !" Denver Wannies
