The first step in managing a concussion is recognising the fact it has happened in the first place. The concussions that don’t end up as a statistic are the ones that should concern us most.

📢We're #hiring physiotherapists! We've got an amazing range of opportunities for physios to work at some of the UK's leading schools including: 1. Harrow School, London - lnkd.in/eTDNxr5a 2. St Edward's School, Oxford - lnkd.in/eWv2gUxy #physiojobs #physio

We should be striving for all those who suffer a concussion to be able to access good medical input - the long term benefit will be huge. #concussion #Wellbeing 4/4

Pathways for prompt referral to our specialist complex case clinic. Treating patients, not just applying a "watch and wait" method. The result? Extremely low levels of persistent symptoms, earlier return to academic studies, safe return to sport, improved patient well-being. 3/4

Research consistently shows that access to specialist medical care leads to improved outcomes. Finally seeing progress in the UK thanks to the likes of @PodiumAnalytics @loveotgame, @ProgressiveRug et al. But we should be careful not "de-medicalise" the injury. 1/4

We welcome the release of the Government’s “UK Concussion Guidelines for Non-Elite (Grassroots) Sport”  published today. If in doubt, sit them out. #concussion #recogniseremove return2play.org.uk/2023/04/28/fir…

Must listen for all youth coaches. “If people are only ever looking for a direct blow to the head they’re probably missing quite a lot of concussions.” Concussion treatment is ever-evolving. Great pod @Dan_Cottrell & concussion specialist Dr Sam Barke. apple.co/3H2n3WQ
