Dr. Michael Turner, ICHIRF Medical Director & Chairman, is honoured to be one of just five keynote speakers presenting at this year's @IOCprevConf. Dr. T will challenge the notion that athletes' 'return to play' should be the main focus of consultations & treatment. #concussion

Dr Michael Turner, ICHIRF Medical Director & Chairman, spoke to the @courierjournal "Helmets are great, but they’re specifically to prevent skull fractures. There are no helmets anywhere in the world that have been proven to mitigate #concussion." #Racing #Horses

Sports know how to reduce head injuries and make their games safer for players: by changing the rules. So far, few have done so. A special report on head injuries in sport, and what can be done to stop them, for @TheEconomist economist.com/international/…
