Recommendation
We recommend that NHS England, in collaboration with the Faculty of Exercise and Sport Medicine, within the next twelve months, prepares a learning module on the best practice for treating and advising those who present with concussive trauma and ensure that all General Practice and Accident & Emergency practitioners take this module within the next 2 years. The module, and the updating of practitioners, should be repeated every 2 years thereafter. (Paragraph 27) Elite sport

HM Government
Acknowledged
The Government agrees in part with this recommendation. NHS England and NHS Improvement will work with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Health Education England (HEE), the Faculty for Sport and Exercise Medicine, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine and the Royal College of General Practitioners to look at existing relevant guidance and training, and undertake any changes that need to be made to improve the management for people who suffer concussion as a result of sport. NHS England and NHS Improvement do not produce clinical guides, nor do they set the curriculum or learning needs for General Practitioners or Emergency Medicine Clinicians.
