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).
