Concussion
Recreation & Wellness staff members are not expected to be authorities trained in the official diagnosis of concussions (unless you are an Athletic Trainer). As staff, our job is to recognize a possible concussion or event that could possibly create a concussion and advise the injured person to be examined by medical professionals. If a concussion is suspected:
- Participants should not be allowed to continue in the activity that day.
- An injury report should be filled out.
- Participants should be advised that they should seek medical attention.
- Participants need to be told to receive documented medical clearance before returning to participation.
- Share a Concussion Fact Sheet with the participant.
