Campaigning for people who have concussion or mild traumatic brain injury with persistent symptoms that have a major impact on lives. #PostConcussionSyndrome
Great return to school guidance for kids who have a concussion. If you’re an adult, this will be useful too as returning too quickly after concussion can lead to lifelong persistent symptoms.

It’s not just people who get concussions through sport that should follow this guidance, but everyone who gets one. Safe return to work, study and play can prevent life long symptoms. A minor injury can have a major impact on your life. https://t.co/Sr6MKoBiV8
