Concussion in Sport Study Launch Photos

9 December 2019; Former Irish Jockey Ruby Walsh was on hand today to help launch ground-breaking new research to understand long term impact of concussion on athletes. New research will explore the long-term effects of repeated concussion and head injuries on those who have competed in contact sports. The research, ‘Concussion in Sport’, launched today as a collaboration between Beacon Hospital Research Institute and the International Concussion and Head Injury Research Foundation (ICHIRF), will allow for better management of concussions in the future. The project will initially recruit retired jockeys and will then expand to other contact sports such as rugby, GAA, boxing and soccer. They will be asked to complete an online questionnaire annually and to attend Beacon Hospital for screening.
