Throughout the guideline development process, the Executive Committee sought the input and expertise of a broad range of experts from clinical, provider and scientific domains and personal experience with concussion.

A patient focus group identified needed areas of information and resources as well as formatting needs. Members of this group later reviewed the patient version of the guideline, along with many other people currently living with persistent symptoms, and those who had recently had symptoms.

The expert consensus panel included medical and allied health clinicians, service providers, knowledge translation experts, and association representatives. Please refer to the Executive Committee and Expert Panel for more information on the experts and disciplines involved.
