Paediatric concussion in general practice
Paediatric concussion management can be complex, requiring a biopsychosocial approach, including a thorough understanding of each individual paediatric patient's pre-concussion history. Given the relationship GPs have with their patients, they are well placed to coordinate multidisciplinary care. For paediatric patients who are at risk of a prolonged recovery or persisting symptoms, early identification and referral for multidisciplinary care are essential.
