Connecting the best brains in science and research
We work with the brightest minds in neurodegenerative disease to understand more about the issues and use the data to advance our calls for a player-centred approach to safety.
Dr Sally Tucker established the Repercussion Group, made up of researchers working on sports-related neurodegenerative disease, to establish the scientific basis for taking an independent and precautionary approach to research on brain injury in sport.
The group, which comprised scientists, clinicians and other stakeholders from the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand was in regular dialogue and round table discussions.
Dr Sally Tucker established Medical Board to further these discussions.
