Evidence & academic case rooms

QUESTION.
CONNECT.
LEARN.

Structured, cross-disciplinary discussion for the questions that cannot be solved by one profession or one paper.

Source first

Every room begins with primary research, a consensus statement or an official clinical framework.

Privacy first

No names, images, dates, clubs or combinations of detail that could identify an athlete or patient.

Multi-disciplinary

Athletes, clinicians, coaches, lawyers, researchers and organisers can see different parts of the same case.

Opening case library

Six questions worth discussing well.

These are educational prompts, not real patient records. Moderated contribution tools will be added only with identity, safety and data-protection controls.

Consensus case 01

A player reports delayed symptoms after contact

How should recognition, removal, assessment and graded return change across age, sex, para status and competition setting?

Team doctor · Physiotherapist · Coach · Athlete · NeuropsychologyOpen primary source · Amsterdam 2022 concussion consensus · BJSM

Which clinical, nutritional and psychological signals should trigger a REDs assessment—and who should coordinate care?

Which definitions, exposure measures and severity metrics are required before their data can be compared?

Event case 05

A competition window overlaps with extreme heat

When should scheduling, cooling, hydration, medical staffing and cancellation thresholds change?

Event medicine · Physiology · Operations · Officials · AthletesOpen primary source · IOC sport events in the heat consensus

Governance case 06

A disclosure crosses medical, legal and federation systems

Before live discussion opens
