Concussion

Sport and Exercise Physician Dr David Bolzonello recently presented Additional Education sessions on Incident Management & Concussion for both the Northern Football Netball League (NFNL) and the Essendon District Football League (EDFL).

He would like to thank the Leagues for the opportunity to speak to their sports trainers and hopes those who attended found the tips useful. 

Here is a recap of the key points he covered in the presentation:

5th International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport

Berlin, Germany. 27-28 October 2016

A summary from Sport and Exercise Physician Dr David Bolzonello

"The main value was reassurance that we here in Melbourne are using best practice principles and that we do manage our athletes well."

Australians were well represented from all our key sports and four of the seven sessions were moderated by Australians, Sport and Exercise Physicians Michael Makdissi, Martin Raftery, and Paul McCrory, who is also a neurologist, and Gavin Davis, Neurosurgeon.
