Hi
We’ve recently had a sprained knee and a dislocated elbow.
I ‘m looking for guidelines on e.g. when to call an ambulance, when to stop gymnasts training and specifically how to manage falls onto the neck or back.
Anyone have such a thing they'd be willing to share?
Thanks

Has no-one in the club got a first aid certificate? Then they should know what to do.

There can be no definite protocol - each injury has to be taken on it's own merits. Like Debbie said: have you no qualified first aiders? If not then you need to get some trained.
