What People Are Saying

“It is tremendously valuable to be involved in the ConcussEd collaborative - helping to bring awareness and ownership to the vital issue of concussion education. ConcussEd - through the outstanding leadership and expertise of Dr Stephanie Adams - provides a platform and a focal point for this important area of work. By being engaged in ConcussEd, SSS has been able to help the student sport network to accelerate its learning and start to embed a tailored and scalable response to concussion management. We look forward to consolidating the relationship and doing more of this crucial work over the coming years.”

— Stew Fowlie, C.O.O. Scottish Student Sport (SSS)

"Working with Stephanie and the team over the past year has been a real privilege. From having attended her educational programme as a player myself, to working alongside her as a Sports Union representative to further this important message, has been a key piece of work. Concussion education is incredibly important for all athletes, coaches, parents and beyond, and is certainly something lacking across the sporting world. We are very lucky to have ConcussEd at Edinburgh and I cannot wait to see this continue to spread across Scotland and beyond, ensuring player safety both on and off the pitch.”

- Katie Macdonald, Sports Union President 2020-2021

“Working in partnership with Dr Stephanie Adams and the ConcussEd team this year has been hugely valuable and enjoyable for everyone associated with Sport at the University of Glasgow. Concussion awareness and education is an extremely important area for our members of staff and club members to have an understanding in, particularly given that so many teams are student run and led. The students have remained engaged throughout and were able to apply their newfound knowledge in an effective manner. We look forward to working together with ConcussEd in the coming years through consistent delivery of evidence-based courses and CPD for our club members.”

- Jamie Taylor, Sport Development Coordinator, University of Glasgow Sport

“The driver for our involvement with ConcussEd is to alert and upskill our MA Physical Education (PE) students about concussion. Dr Adams has created and delivered a bespoke course, tailored to the needs of our students, many of whom are athletes but are also our future teachers of physical education. As athletes the course raises awareness of concussion prevention, identification and management of their own health and wellbeing but additionally supports them to use their knowledge with their pupils. As educators they are supported to share and promote their knowledge and establish concussion-aware teaching colleagues and schools. Our association with ConcussEd has been and will continue to be invaluable in upskilling the teaching profession in concussion prevention and management strategies.”

- June Murray, Developmental Physical Education (PE), MAPE Placement Coordinator, University of Edinburgh
