DOC UNIT: TOTAL HEADCASE

A term that has arisen through our time filming has been 'Total Headcase'. This is the term used for an initiative started by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to make more and more people aware of what they should do in instances of concussion.

The goal of the RFU is to make people aware that even if someone says they want to continue doesn't necessarily mean they should. Both Dr. Harris and Roger talked about it in their respective interviews with positive feelings about the initiative.

The website provides interactive education for coaches, players and match officials to spread awareness.
