Concussion in Sport: Discussion

11:50 am

Dr. Adrian McGoldrick:

It is more of an issue in complicated cases. Concussions can be dealt with by people like me but in complicated cases, the Turf Club pays for riders to be assessed privately by a neuropsychologist, and not everyone can afford this. The vast majority of concussions, some 99%, occur at the amateur level, and this is the area that needs to be addressed.
