There "can't be one rule for the men's game and another rule for the women's game" when it comes to player welfare, departing Spartans head coach Debbi McCulloch has insisted.
Spartans striker Becky Galbraith received on-pitch treatment for 27 minutes before being taken to hospital in November's game away to Aberdeen.
McCulloch called for an "urgent review" of medical provision at SWPL matches.
"We've got to make sure that we close that gap," she told BBC Scotland.
"We have to try and get some change in place. That means that all players, staff, supporters, anyone who attends a game can do so safely."
Following the incident in which Galbraith was concussed and suffered neck ligament damage, the Scottish Women's Premier League stressed that it was up to clubs to ensure that a qualified medical practitioner and a chartered physiotherapist or equivalent is present at games - as well as a minimum of two stretchers and four trained stretcher bearers.
McCulloch, who is stepping back from her role as manager to take over as chief executive of the Spartans Foundation, says there is still work to be done on finding ways to protect players, staff and fans of the women's game.
She acknowledged that, although the increasing exposure of the women's game is a huge positive, it can come at the detriment of players' wellbeing.
"I think one big massive change in the game is the pressure that people feel - and that's due to the additional level of exposure, which is great," she said.
"But, in a sense, three or four years ago, you could be on the substitutes bench three games in a row, and nobody would really know. Whereas now, everybody knows. So that can be quite embarrassing for players."
McCulloch stresses that the lack of money in the women's game compared to the male equivalent should not be an excuse.
"Whether it's mental health, whether it's physical health, whether it's medical cover, we can't cut corners with that. Why would we cut corners with that?" she added.
"I think going from this amateur status to semi-professional to professional has made us recognize and realise that more than ever.
"In terms of the leagues and the FAs, we're still in a process of learning. Ultimately, what you do off the pitch allows you to do what you need to do on the pitch and I think that that's really important."
