Multidisciplinary care in concussion management
Across Australia, publicly funded concussion services are few, and models of care vary depending on funding time and availability of expertise. Given their knowledge of the patient's premorbid and social background, the general practitioner often plays a large part in diagnosis, referral and care coordination, especially in complex cases such as those with repeated concussions, vestibular or cervical dysfunction, severe pain and/or psychological concerns.
