EOSE was commissioned by World Rugby, the global federation for rugby, to support the work of their Pitch Side Medical Education Working Group.
Specifically EOSE was tasked with carrying out an equivalency and mapping project to look at first aid and medical education courses from around the world and map them to the World Rugby suite of medical courses to produce a list of equivalent courses. This piece of work will help medically trained individuals to be recognised in rugby and will help national rugby federations around the world with the identification of suitably qualified individuals in the medical area.
