Conclusion
We are also concerned that the relative infrequency with which clinicians encounter this kind of condition suggests that many of them are likely to be out of date with regard to the best possible practice in treating these patients and getting them the necessary specialist treatments.
Government Response Summary
The government agrees in part with the concern, committing NHS England and NHS Improvement to collaborate with several medical bodies to review existing guidance and training on sports-related concussion and make necessary improvements. However, they clarify they do not produce clinical guides or set curriculum for GPs or emergency clinicians.
