Overview

To provide the members of RA with a scheme which provides them with (immediate) access
to physiotherapy and rehabilitation if they suffer a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD), which
prevents them from being able to perform their duties as a referee.

Description

The incident/Injury which results in the MSD must be incurred whilst the member is
travelling directly to and from a game, during a game, training or whilst on recognised
referee's society business.

To qualify for the service the MSD must prevent the member from being able to perform
their duties as a referee for at least five consecutive days.

An injury website will be available during the intervening period, so that the initial care
which should be administered by the patient immediately following the injury can be
treated, e.g. Icing elevation etc

An IPRS Personal Care Advisor will contact the member by phone within 2 working days,
to carry out a triage call to assess the extent of the member’s injuries and whether IPRS
intervention is appropriate.
Details of procedures to be used by officials will follow shortly.

If IPRS intervention is appropriate, IPRS will arrange a physical assessment and up to a
maximum of four treatment sessions, as clinically appropriate.

Each member can claim for up to 4 separate, non-related MSD’s during the annual
Agreement Period.

All treatment will be arranged by IPRS only, and referred into their network of Associate
Practices.

Treatment will not be provided for an MSD:
i) which did not specifically occur within the Agreement Period,
ii) where, in the opinion of IPRS, it is neither reasonable nor appropriate to do so,
iii) which occurred within 7 days of the commencement of the Agreement. This does not
apply for renewal Agreements,
iv) for which the Official has previously received treatment under this Agreement.
