Abstract

To determine if doctors providing medical care at Scottish football stadiums meet the standards recommended by the Gibson Report. A postal questionnaire and telephone follow up of doctors involved with the 40 Scottish League teams. 47% of the doctors had not attended any relevant resuscitation courses and 72% had no training in major incident management. The recommendations of the Gibson Report with regard to medical cover at football stadiums have not been fully implemented in Scotland.
