Concussion Hub
Welcome to the Concussion Hub, your club's, school's, or society's one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about concussion.
In a fast moving game of rugby, it can be difficult for one individual to have eyes on all players looking for possible concussive episodes.
It important that everyone involved in the game has good knowledge of what concussion is, how to recognise a possible concussion and react appropriately.
Knowledge, understanding and guidance around concussion is an ever evolving space, and Scottish Rugby recommends that players, coaches, match officials, parents and volunteers of our game regularly view this page for the latest information on the matter.
Scottish Rugby is committed to injury prevention and the welfare of all those participating in our sport.
Below you’ll find a series of resources and information to help you better understand concussion.
Scottish Rugby strongly encourages all players, volunteers and parents to undertake our Concussion e-module, launched in July 2023. Click HERE to complete the course.
