World Rugby Concussion Management Guidelines

World Rugby's Concussion Management Guidelines aim to protect players by providing a clear framework for identifying and managing head injuries. These guidelines emphasize immediate assessment if a concussion is suspected, ensuring players are removed from the game for safety. A series of protocols outline steps for evaluation, treatment, and gradual return to play, incorporating ongoing monitoring for symptoms. The guidelines also highlight the importance of education for coaches, players, and medical staff to foster a safety-first culture in rugby, ultimately prioritizing the health and well-being of all participants.
