Concussion in Sport Symposium- Speaker Dr Peter Nathan

The State Government, through the Department of Sport and Recreation, has joined with Sports Medicine Australia WA (SMAWA), to work on a number of initiatives aimed at informing and helping people manage the issue of concussion. Concussion is an important and serious issue in the sport and recreation industry. With the right education and risk management programs, it shouldn’t be a barrier to participation and people continuing to be active. Education on the risks is a critical first step. This means learning how to recognise and manage concussion using the 5 R’s – recognise, removal, referral, rest and return to play. It’s also important to note that concussion doesn’t only happen to professional athletes but can affect children and adults at all levels of participation. This means everyone should be aware of how to manage it. A GP Perspective: Making Return to Play Decisions in Non-elite Sport Settings Dr Peter Nathan is a Sports Medicine Doctor.
