Killarney Concussion Awareness Workshop

The next Concussion Awareness workshop hosted by the Munster Rugby Development Department, in conjunction with the IRFU, takes place in Killarney on Monday.

The seminar will be held at the Malton Hotel in Killarney and begins at 7:30pm. Bandon RFC will then host a Concussion Awareness workshop on Wednesday at 7:30pm.

The Workshops have been running since last year and this will be the third seminar to take place in recent weeks with 236 people attending the first two workshops in Cork earlier this month.

All Club and School coaches and officials are encouraged to attend the workshops which are free of charge.

Dr. Garrett Coughlan, the IRFU's Medical Coordinator, hosts all of 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.

Please note places are limited and will be filled on a first come first served basis. There will be two further Concussion Awareness Workshops at Ennis RFC in two weeks.

The workshops will continue into the new year in Clanwilliam and Limerick IT with a timetable below. Please contact janeburns@munsterrugby.ie to register your place at a workshop.
