At UPANDRUNNING we are the pioneers of multidisciplinary Sports Medicine, the first Sports Medicine Clinic to open in the UAE providing high quality, ethical healthcare for all. Our passionate team of award- winning, international specialists are dedicated to improving the health, fitness and wellbeing of our local community and to ensuring the best and most efficient patient journey through our fully integrated approach to care.
At UPANDRUNNING, triage is an essential component of our patient care process. Triage is of the utmost importance for UPANDRUNNING when we are working pitch-side at a sporting event. As athletes engage in high-intensity activities, the risk of injuries increases, making immediate and accurate assessment crucial for prompt and appropriate care. Effective triage helps us to optimize resources and streamline medical interventions, enabling our clinicians to address multiple injuries efficiently and allocate medical personnel accordingly. By employing a thorough triage system, we can ensure that each athlete receives prompt and appropriate care, optimizing the chances of a successful recovery and return to peak performance.
UPANDRUNNING have been prevalent in the UAE for over 12 years and as such have developed a strong network of global specialists, offering truly multidisciplinary case management. Our approach is fully integrated, we incorporate expertise from across our team as well as any external clinicians to ensure the best outcome for our patients by jointly sharing information, findings and experience to allow fully informed decision and rehabilitation pathway.
We can recommend dedicated care providers for triage patients, as well as arrange all necessary imaging and documentation required to make a referral to a specialist in another country. We liaise directly with the referral professional to hand over history, examination, investigation and expectations. We can connect with international medical leaders to secure best outcome in line with our patients’ expectations.
