Dr. Michael Turner, ICHIRF Medical Director & Chairman, is honoured to be one of just five keynote speakers presenting at this year's @IOCprevConf.
Dr. T will challenge the notion that athletes' 'return to play' should be the main focus of consultations & treatment. #concussion
Dr Michael Turner, ICHIRF Medical Director & Chairman, spoke to the @courierjournal
"Helmets are great, but they’re specifically to prevent skull fractures.
There are no helmets anywhere in the world that have been proven to mitigate #concussion." #Racing #Horses
Horse racing is more dangerous than football for concussions. Why isn't the US doing more? courier-journal.com/story/ne…
"Dr Turner trained 185 doctors and 90 nurses to diagnose #concussions at UK racetracks, set up baseline screening centers in a dozen locations and organized post-concussion reviews by independent neurologists." @laura_ungar #HorseRacing
A fascinating interview with @PatLambie from his screening with us last week.
Patrick wants to "contribute to science’s understanding of #concussion and is hoping to understand his own future too." #research #rugby bit.ly/2tLlqWY

Important piece in today's @TheEconomist - @timwig
Dr Michael Turner highlights concerns that second impacts following undiagnosed #concussion might lead to lasting damage - "Now that we're better at diagnosing we're going to see more of it." #BrainInjury econ.st/2FYzSSP

.@richarddunwoody: It will be of great benefit to establish the facts regarding the effects of #concussion. #Kempton #KingGeorgeVI #racing
.@richarddunwoody: Pro jockeys gave little thought as to what the long-term effects of repetitive head injuries would be. #Kempton #racing
We need #volunteers so that prestigious tours like #ENGvIND continue with athlete well-being paramount #concussion bit.ly/2dgBfi2

We're not interested in ending #Boxing. Our interest lies in ensuring @anthonyfjoshua, Eric Molina & others know the #risks. #JoshuaMolina
Our ongoing research into #concussion can help us learn more of the potential collateral from the high-level, contact sport @ChampionsLeague

For nearly 50 yrs, racers have braved the @RoofofAfrica. We want to explore #concussion further to help those who the helmet doesn’t save.
The @F1 season finishes Abu Dhabi. The danger of #braininjury may remain, but our work can help us learn more about the long term effects.
Our international research is committed to ensuring #AutumnInternationals continue better informed #ENGvARG #WALvAUS bit.ly/2f3VgrQ
