We're keen to hear your experience of NZ concussion services and barriers and facilitators of access. If you've had a #concussion or mild #TBI in the last 5 years we would love to hear your thoughts in a short online survey.

This qualitative study reveals a need for routine screening processes, clarification of professional roles, streamed healthcare pathways, data sharing and upskilling workforce knowledge to facilitate identification and management of #TBI in the justice sector @atheadom

More evidence for abandoning severity classification of #TBI by GCS score. CT abnormalities observed in mild TBI ranked the same as those in moderate to severe TBI - just less frequent. liebertpub.com/doi/epdf/10.1…

Sadly a story so many working in government organisations can relate to. nzherald.co.nz/nz/worker-bul…

Bullied health worker says Worksafe findings were like 'having a knife twisted'

"Very poor workplace culture": 11 people reported inappropriate behaviour by the manager.

Great to finally see some consistency across sports in return to play guidelines after #concussion! Now we need to provide supports and enable clinicians to implement the guidelines. stuff.co.nz/sport/350165687/…

Strict stand-down in new national sports concussion guidelines

Three-week stand down and medical clearance required before concussed community sports people can return to play.

A great project by one of our MPhil students has just been published! The findings highlight that standardised processes are needed to identify acute and historic #TBI # concussion in the justice sector. publish.csiro.au/IB/IB23069

It really is time to relook at how we define and reward academic success to stop the game playing and integrity issues before the public lose trust in science. More than 10,000 research papers were retracted in 2023 nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
