Concussion: Understanding, managing and preventing it | for health professionals

Presenter: Dr Gill Cowen – GP and Sports Medicine Physician

We encourage Pilbara health professionals across various disciplines (medical, aged care, allied health, community support services, etc) to join Dr Gill Cowen, a highly accomplished medical professional, parent and sports enthusiast to enhance your collective approach to concussion care. Given its widespread occurrence, early recognition and appropriate management are essential to reducing long-term complications and improving patient outcomes.

Delivered in the Goldfields last year, Gill’s session still receives rave reports!

PLEASE NOTE: The event will be available online for Pilbara health professionals that are not able to travel to Karratha to attend in person. The link will be shared with registered participants a few days prior to the event.
