Concussion - information for RYA First Aid Course

Concussion Concussion is a common injury in many sports, particularly contact sports such as football, hockey, and rugby as well as Sailing. Athletes who experience concussion should be removed from the game immediately and should not be allowed to return until they have been evaluated by a medical professional. Sports organisations and teams have developed protocols for managing concussions, such as the "concussion protocol", which involves a series of steps that must be followed before a player can return to play. These steps typically include rest, cognitive and physical testing, and a gradual return to activity. It's important to take concussions seriously, as repeated head injuries can have long-term effects on an athlete's health and well-being.
