Concussion Awareness Workshops

The Munster Rugby Development Department, in conjunction with the IRFU, will be hosting Concussion Awareness Workshops throughout the province over the coming months.

Dr. Garrett Coughlan, the IRFU's Medical Coordinator, will host the workshops which will 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.

The first of these workshops will be hosted in PBC, Cork on Monday 17th November at 7pm. All Club and School coaches and officials are encouraged to attend the workshops which are free of charge. Please note places are limited and will be filled on a first come first served basis.

Further workshops will take place in the following locations: Bandon, Killarney, Ennis, Tipperary Town and Limerick City. Dates and times will be confirmed next week.
