<h3>Register now to attend the free 'Heads Up!' concussion awareness conference held at GMIT, Galway, Ireland, on Tuesday the 29th March 2022.</h3>

This conference is part of the European Erasmus+ "<a href="https://concussioninsport.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Get your head in the game - SCAT</a>" project led by <a href="https://www.gmit.ie/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GMIT</a>. The aim of the project is to provide an in-depth understanding of the definition and implications of concussion in amateur sports settings across Europe. Concussions are often referred to as the 'invisible injury' because you cannot see a concussion, unlike a broken arm or leg. A concussion can affect all age groups, as we can all be at risk of damaging our brains following triggering events (i.e. a fall, bang of heads playing tag in the schoolyard, or players colliding on the sports field). These events can result in a wide range of short and/or long-term concussive symptoms.Further Event Information:The event will provide attendees with the opportunity to engage with leading experts in concussion research. It will also provide an understanding of the diagnosis and management measures that are most applicable to armature and youth contact sports. The event will also present current research from athletes' perspectives surrounding concussion understanding and awareness. Attendees in the audience will also have the opportunity to join the panel discussion.
