Abstract

AbstractConcussion awareness became a priority for the Northern Sydney Local Health District as the increase in children, teenagers, and young adults with concussion, had an effect on emergency department (ED) presentations, follow-up, schooling and sports-related activities. Education in some of the local schools from the Neuroscience Clinical Nurse Consultant had been occurring, but the need far outweighed the in-person approach. Therefore, it was decided that the development of an educational concussion video for schools was required.AIMTo produce a 5-minute educational video for use in schools in the PDHPE Program / Sport sessions, that could then be broken down into shorter 1-minute versions for social media bursts.METHODA focus group was established and the process of devising and parenting this video took approximately 11months. It is pitched at a 12-year-old and combines animation and realistic scenes.OUTCOMEThe video can be found at - https://vimeo.com/674645370It has been sent to and accessed by schools within the Northern Sydney Local Health District and has been integrated into the NSW Education Department teacher training as a tool for teachers and students. It has been accessed throughout NSW, other Australian states and accepted for use in the New Zealand schooling system.
