The UK Concussion Guidelines for Non-Elite (Grassroots) Sport
The above guideline is excellent and good to signpost parents / carers to.
- Page 17-19 - Graduated return to activity (education/work) and sport
- Page 4 - Key points are a useful summary
- “there should be no return to competition before 21 days from injury”
- “Anyone with symptoms after 28 days should seek medical advice from their GP (which may in turn require specialist referral and review).”
