Clinical Psychologist Dr Damon Ashworth interviews Neuropsychologist Dr Harvey Jones on a topic he is passionate about - concussion.

Harvey wants to improve listeners' understanding of acute concussion symptoms and the main dos and don'ts following a concussion.

They discuss what a concussion is, what is important to do in the first 24 to 48 hours after a concussion, and where they could go if they are concerned or want extra support.

They also debunk a lot of the myths that are out there about concussions. You don't have to just lie in bed in a dark room. There isn't a certain number of concussions you can have before you have to retire from a sport, and the more symptoms you have doesn't always mean that you have had a worse concussion or your brain is in a worse state. Education and clear guidance can help reduce your risk of persistent symptoms after a concussion.
