With my colleagues at ThinkFirst Canada and the Brain Injury Association of Canada, there has been an explosion of new information around concussions and sports injuries in particular.
For me--I'm not an expert in brain injury--the continued focus in terms of the cross-sectoral engagement is essential: the researchers, the physicians who are seeing the trauma, the rehab, and those living with brain injuries. But as with any other injury, the research is the most important, and the data, because that's what informs what we do that is effective going forward.
So a focus on an injury like a brain injury, which is lifelong, has a huge impact--and we are just learning the extent of these injuries. We continue to support the work of those experts in the area to find out more about what is most effective and to support that on a national basis.
