The Irish Rugby Football Union have been at the forefront of concussion education over the last number of years. They have developed a range of educational materials, including posters, wallet cards, and online content (www.irishrugby.ie/concussion) including a series of videos aimed at junior and senior players, parents, coaches and referees, all based on the Stop, Inform, Rest, Return message. Through the Safe Rugby programme (Standard Approach to Field Emergencies) over 2500 coaches have taken part in a one day, rugby specific first aid course.
The seminar will include modules relating to Concussion Recognition Management and Return to Play protocols followed by a Question and Answer session..
