Testing a new approach for assessing head injuries in the emergency department
We are carrying out a study to test a new way of assessing head injuries, including concussion, in adults.
We hope this new assessment process will make it easier for people to access follow-up services if needed, and improve recovery.
Please support our study by taking part.
We are a leading team of researchers and clinicians from all around Aotearoa who are trying to help improve recovery from mild brain injuries such as concussion.
Our work is generously supported by Health Research Council, ACC, Te Whatu Ora, AUT Brain Injury Network, University of Otago, University of Auckland
