Having witnessed Christian Eriksen’s live collapse at Euro 2020, we have no doubt that you will be alongside us with your thoughts and best wishes for the Danish player and his family.
The occurrence of the medical emergency in a live sporting environment has brought the reality of sudden cardiac arrest, on the pitch, in the park, on the kerb, to a stark reality.
The question is: do you know how to respond?
Would you recognise the onset of a sudden cardiac arrest?
Do you know the actions to take?
Do you know how to perform CPR?
Would you be able to locate the nearest defibrillator?
We have collaborated with Sport England who have funded an eLearning course that everyone can access free of charge. It will guide you through how to respond quickly to a sudden cardiac arrest.
Whether you started participating in hockey at school or in adulthood, we want to understand your participation experiences and attitudes towards hockey during each life stage.
Please take 5-10 minutes to complete the below survey and share your hockey journey. As a thank you for your time, you will have the opportunity to enter a prize draw to win one of five £100 Amazon vouchers!
Your responses will be part of a national study including other sports and will be used to better understand people’s sporting experiences over time. The insights will help us to improve our sports delivery and provision for people of all ages, supporting us to grow and sustain participation in hockey.
