Existing concussion clinics around the country are already doing valuable work in this area. Two of these are the Birmingham Sport Concussion Clinic and Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health (ISEH) Concussion Clinic.
The Birmingham Sport Concussion Clinic is open to professional and amateur athletes aged 16 years or over from all geographical areas. The clinic is run as part of a wider initiative to promote safety, awareness and research on sport concussion. Patients can be referred by GPs, physiotherapists and club doctors.
The Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health (ISEH) Concussion Clinic, based in London, is a multidisciplinary clinic for professional and amateur athletes with concussion-related issues.
The ISEH, in collaboration with the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, has developed a pathway to primarily support retired professional athletes who are concerned about neurocognitive issues. This includes expert cognitive neurological assessment, state‑of‑the art brain imaging and, if needed, cognitive testing with a neuropsychologist as well as individualised identification and management of modifiable risk factors to maintain brain health throughout life.
