UK Grassroots Education & Pitchside Simulation

Recognise. Remove. Refer. Recover.

One platform with two clearly separated routes: a UK grassroots foundation for the people closest to the action, and the existing ConcussionSim clinical/pitchside extension for structured assessment, simulation, documentation and CPD.

Start Grassroots Course Clinical / Pitchside Extension
If concussion is suspected: remove from play, riding, cycling, training or PE. Do not permit same-day return. If in doubt, sit them out.

Sport-specific practice already inside ConcussionSim

Polo and equestrian, rugby, cycling and general sport scenarios remain live in the simulator. The grassroots course supplies the common UK safety foundation; the simulator supplies the decision practice.

Current guidance sources

Clinical content reviewed 22 September 2026. The UK-wide grassroots baseline remains the November 2024 guidance; polo content is checked against the live HPA 2026 Rules & Safety/Concussion Protocol; head-injury escalation against NICE NG232; and HIA terminology against the current World Rugby protocol. Governing-body rules can change, so event-day decisions should use the live source where it is stricter.

UK Grassroots Guidance HPA Rules & Safety NICE NG232 World Rugby HIA Protocol

Training & education only. The grassroots pathway supports recognition, removal, escalation and recovery education. The ConcussionSim clinical extension supports structured pitchside learning.

Neither pathway replaces emergency escalation, live clinical assessment, sport-specific governing-body rules, medical review or GWAS clinical governance. This app does not clear anyone to return to play, riding or cycling. Live clinical records remain in the PCR system.
