2019 Concussion Forum

Concussion remains the great unknown in Australian and in fact world sport.
Unlike any other injury where the rehabilitation process has been proven to get the athlete back to competition without complication the effects of a brain trauma injury are still widely unknown.
There is so much research on concussion and the information continues to grow. It is best for those involved in sport to stay up to date with this research so we can continue to raise awareness to each other in the sporting community of the signs and symptoms of concussion.
In previous years SASMA has been running free concussion forums for the community and we are pleased to announce we are back for 2019 to run these across SA! We will continue to run workshops and education sessions on concussion management!
We have planned to hold these in various locations around Adelaide in the Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern regions.
Due to such high demand we are taking the forum regionally again this year and will be running them Lyndoch, Mt Gambier, Port Pirie and Victor Harbor.
These forums always reach record number with over 70 attendees so make sure you send through names of who you want to book in to admin@sasma.com.au before we reach maximum attendance.
The sessions will run for approximately 90 minutes and are free of charge for attendees. They are run by a Sports Doctor currently working with elite sport and conversant with the latest information and management protocols in concussion.
