The Workshops free of charge and co-ordinated by the Munster Rugby Development Department, in conjunction with the IRFU. To book your place on the Kanturk workshop, please email janeburns@munsterrugby.ie.

Over 400 coaches, parents, players and referees have attended this season's seven Concussion Awareness Workshops to date.

They have been running since last year 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.
