Summary
Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a common injury managed by team physicians. This statement was developed by the Team Physician Consensus Conference (TPCC) to address selected issues on SRC relevant to the practicing team physician. The outline is reviewed and modified by the executive committee and expert panel members and they formulate statements that are supported by the literature and best practices into a format of ‘essential’ and ‘desirable’ information that the team physician is responsible for understanding. That meeting is followed by a 2-day meeting with all of the representatives during which the final paper is completed This is a facilitated process where all topics of the paper are reviewed and exact wording is determined and agreed on.
