Concussion Awareness

"One thing I've noticed over the years in my practice is that there's a lot of misinformation and lack of awareness around concussion. If you know the up-to-date information on concussions, it can make a big difference in the recovery, which is why new resources and videos such as this are so important to Nova Scotians." - Dr. Tina Atkinson, Sport and Exercise Medicine Physician

Concussion Awareness Video and Return to Sport Guidelines

In partnership with the Brain Injury Association of Nova Scotia we are excited to launch a new concussion awareness video, "The First Few Days After Concussion" featuring Sport and Exercise Medicine Physician Dr. Tina Atkinson, as well as a refreshed concussion resource webpage including the new return to sport guidelines.
