Concussion Awareness
Concussion Awareness and Recovery
Concussion is is a temporary injury to the brain caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head.
a headache that doesn't go away or isn't relieved with painkillers
memory loss – you may not remember what happened before or after the injury
clumsiness or trouble with balance
unusual behaviour – you may become irritated easily or have sudden mood swings
feeling stunned, dazed or confused
changes in your vision – such as blurred vision, double vision or "seeing stars"
being knocked out or struggling to stay awake
​
It is important that all players and coaches are aware of concussion, how it may occur and how it should be dealt with to ensure the safety of players. If you think that you might have a concussion, please see your GP straight away. If you are experiencing severe symptoms, please go to your nearest A&E immediately.
​
Recovery for a concussion for rugby should follow the gradual return to play protocol, found here.
