This tool is a guideline for managing an individual’s return to work following a concussion and does not replace medical advice. The goal for each step is to find the balance between doing too much and doing too little. Timelines and activities may vary based on direction from a doctor, nurse practitioner, or healthcare professional with relevant training.

After being diagnosed with a concussion, you should have a follow-up appointment with a healthcare professional within two weeks to be re-assessed.
