'Recognised as one of the UK’s leading concussion awareness and education resources, the RFU’s HEADCASE programme aims to increase understanding and provide information on concussion and other related topics, including how to prevent and manage suspected concussions'

What is concussion?
Concussion is a traumatic brain injury typically resulting from a blow to the head or body which results in forces being transmitted to the brain. The symptoms can present immediately and be short-lived or the onset of symptoms may be delayed and start to occur sometime after the initial injury. (England RFU)
