Levelling The Playing Field: Inclusive Concussion Recovery For Everyone

Hands joining indicating accountability and moving on with your recovery progress

Problem

50% of UK university students would keep playing after a suspected head injury, and our research found that over half don’t know when it’s safe to return to sport.

 

Returning to play too early can have serious consequences: worsened symptoms, academic struggles, poor mental health, increased risk of repeat concussions, and even prolonged brain damage.

​

What’s more, current concussion guidance ignores gender differences, meaning it could be failing to support half the student population—namely women, who may experience different symptoms and recovery trajectories.

 

We know there’s pressure at university to keep playing—whether it’s not wanting to miss matches, socials, or let your team down. But when this pressure meets a lack of understanding about concussion, the risks are real and preventable.

Solution

Our unique consultancy service works to identify organisations’ pain points within their current concussion management systems, to work with existing systems, support and protocol to enhance the support provided to sporting communities. To bring this together, we offer:

Concussion Toolkit 

​A bespoke digital tool to facilitate concussion recovery co-designed for students, with students.

Our gender-informed, holistic Toolkit supports athletes through every stage of recovery—physically, academically, and emotionally—with clear return-to-play and return-to-learn guidance following the same timeline- the first of their kind!

​

Concussion Workshops

Our interactive workshops equip athletes, coaches, parents, and support staff with the knowledge and confidence to recognise, manage, and respond to concussion safely. Grounded in the latest research, they’re engaging, inclusive, and tailored to each sporting community.
