We are looking for doctors to join our team of Match-Day Doctors working at our partner schools and clubs. Our doctors lead the medical care across the school/club sport facilities on match days supported by a team of nurses, physio and emergency care practitioners (dependent on the organisation). As well as assessing and managing injuries as they occur, the doctor also undertakes a post-match clinic to advise on the immediate and short-term management of injuries.
