A summary of the first Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand Clinical Practice Guideline for the management of mild traumatic brain injury/concussion and persisting post-concussion symptoms in adults and children

The 'Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand Clinical Practice Guideline for the management of mild traumatic brain injury/concussion and persisting post-concussion symptoms in adults and children' is the first guideline to address the full scope of mTBI/concussion management across diverse ANZ populations. It provides general practitioners and other clinicians with practical, evidence-based recommendations for assessing and managing mTBI and persisting symptoms across all ages. Developed through multidisciplinary and consumer collaboration, it aims to promote consistent, high-quality care and reduce practice variation across healthcare settings.
