Introduction

The management of injury and illness in sport encompasses a wide range of conditions and contexts ranging from prevention to rehabilitation, from physical injury to concussion. Fundamentally, management is based upon a framework of sound assessment and evidence-based practice that informs the direction of action. Most importantly, for it to be successful, management requires the involvement and buy-in of the whole team to work in an interdisciplinary fashion. This module outlines key concepts in the management of illness and injuries.
