The Peterborough Youth Sports Concussion Program will establish a best practice model in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of concussions providing universal access to youth from across the City and County of Peterborough from the age of 10 right through until high school graduation.  The program, the first of its kind in Canada, is a collaboration between primary care providers and specialists and will establish standardized guidelines for concussion management for all health care providers across the 5 Peterborough Networked Family Health Teams.  As a community-wide initiative, pilots will be conducted over the next 18 months while logistical elements are addressed and the program will be fully operational by September 2012.
