Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation (ONF) seeking input for webinar on post-concussion care The Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation (ONF) will be hosting a webinar on post-concussion care and they need your help. Primary care teams are the frontline for concussion diagnosis and treatment which means management of persistent concussion symptoms is an important issue for AFHTO members. ONF has developed evidence-based guidelines and standards that help address concussion management issues, that they’d like to showcase to AFHTO members in the form of a webinar. To maximize its value, they’d like to highlight clinically-relevant issues teams face when managing patients after concussion. To do this, they’re looking to partner with an AFHTO member who can help focus the webinar content to ensure it is clinically relevant and practical for primary care teams. They’d also like to jointly present the webinar with this member. ONF will support the development of the webinar content to limit the impact on resources and time. If you’re interested in this opportunity or would like more information, please contact Chad Debison-Larabie, Program and Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator, ABI at (416) 422-2228 x. 207 or chad@onf.org.
