Canadian Guideline on Concussion in Sport

The Canadian Guideline on Concussion in Sport published in July 2017 and produced by Parachute and its Expert Advisory Concussion Subcommittee. 

The guideline addresses seven key areas:

1. Pre-season education
2. Head injury recognition
3. Onsite medical assessment
4. Medical assessment
5. Concussion management
6. Multidisciplinary concussion care
7. Return to sport

The Public Health Agency of Canada funded the program and is an essential part of the Parachute-led Concussion Protocol Harmonization Project establishing the foundation for a more uniform approach to concussion recognition and management.
