A senior trauma doctor has urged people to send injured riders to hospital with the helmet they were wearing as part of a training clinic on potentially life-saving steps anyone can take to help someone with a head injury.
Dr Diane Fisher, who is a rider as well as a trauma consultant attached to both Royal Stoke University Hospital and the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, spoke about the simple first-aid actions people can take if a friend hits their head at the yard.
“The part that worries me is the secondary injury I can’t do anything about the fact you’ve hurt your head, but what I can do is make sure that people know what to do with the secondary injuries,” said Dr Fisher in her “rider clinic” webinar on 28 January, held in association with Champion.
