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 an 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.
