Clanwilliam And LIT Host Concussion Workshops

Clanwilliam FC and Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) host Concussion Awareness Workshops next week with places still available.

The workshop in Clanwilliam FC takes place on Monday, January 12 at 7:30pm. The workshop in LIT follows on Wednesday, January 14 and takes place in Lecture Hall 4A02 at 7pm.

The Workshops are co-ordinated by the Munster Rugby Development Department, in conjunction with the IRFU.

Well over 300 coaches, parents, players and referees have attended this season's five Concussion Awareness Workshops to date.

They have been running since last season and are free of charge with all club and school coaches and officials encouraged to attend.

Dr. Garrett Coughlan, the IRFU's Medical Co-ordinator, hosts all of the workshops which include modules relating to Concussion Recognition Management and Return to Play protocols followed by a Question and Answer session.

The content has been designed to educate coaches, parents, players and referees on the dangers of concussion and how to recognise it.
