Concussion guidelines needed, says Ger Ryan

GAA player welfare chief Ger Ryan says one of the big challenges facing the association is spreading clear guidelines on concussion beyond inter-county level and out to the 400,000 club players worldwide.

Ryan was speaking at the fifth annual Sports Medicine Conference hosted by the Sports Surgery Clinic at its Santry base on Saturday.

With a number of renowned medical experts in attendance from across the globe, the focus was on the subject of “Concussion: Diagnosis and Rehabilitation”.
