Episode description

Everything you wanted to know about the Zurich International Conference on Concussion

The Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport: the 3rd International Conference on Concussion in Sport held in Zurich, November 2008 is BJSM’s top download and this podcast takes you behind the scenes.

Professor Paul McCrory shares the reasons behind recent changes in management of concussion and provides practical tips for you to prevent concussion and treat it where necessary.

Part 2:Professor McCrory provides advice based on the Consensus Statement for the more junior clinician. You can’t remember whether the previous Consensus meeting was in Vienna or Prague (why do they get to go to all the cool places), you may have only learned about concussion in your university training (eek!) or you may not have worked in sports where concussion is prevalent. Now you are about to cover boxing or Australian Rules Football. Whack this podcast on your iPod and listen to it ringside (that team applies to Australian Football, don’t worry).
