Developed by word leading concussion experts at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, the Royal Children's Hospital and the AFL, the new Headcheck App helps officials recognise the symptoms of a suspected concussion and it's severity.
What is it? The Headcheck Concussion App guides non-medical users through a series of concise questions and observations to quickly identify whether a child's head injury requires an ambulance, hospital or a GP visit. The app also assists parents/guardians in managing their child's recovery program based on the symptoms displayed as well as their child's safe return to school, training and games.
It is strongly encouraged for all Brisbane Junior clubs to download the FREE Headcheck App and share it with all officials, first aiders, parents and members so everyone can have access to the best practice in child concussion education and advice.
You can download the free app via the Apple Store for iPhones, or via the Google Play Store for Android users.
