Westcliff RFU have a dedicated medical team who play a crucial role in supporting the health and performance of our players, both on and off the field. They work alongside the Women, Men and youth squads taking weekday appointments for the senior men teams and women's team. This is when players injuries are assessed, diagnosed and treated with a tailored rehabilitation programme.
At weekend matches, pitch-side first aid is provided by for home and away games for both senior men and women’s teams. For youth home games we have our sports therapist and multiple first aiders on-site encase of medical emergencies. The health, safety, and performance of our players are our top priorities, and we are proud to have a medical team that is as committed to the game as they are to player care.
