Headcase RTP

Headcase RTP guides parents, coaches and adult players through the official UK Graduated Return to Activity and Sport (GRAS) protocol following a concussion or head injury in rugby and other sports.

Built around the official RFU Headcase guidelines, the app tracks each of the 6 recovery stages from initial rest through to full return to competition — with a minimum 21-day protocol for all players.

FEATURES:

• Step-by-step GRAS protocol tracker for children and adults
• Daily symptom diary and wellbeing check-in
• Projected recovery timeline from injury date
• Red flag symptoms with direct 999 emergency call button
• Healthcare professional review reminders at key stages
• Multiple profiles — track the whole team or family
• Coach and parent/guardian modes for child profiles

BASED ON OFFICIAL GUIDANCE: The app follows the RFU Headcase GRAS protocol. Medical sign-off is not required — the primary gate at every stage is being symptom-free. A healthcare professional review is recommended before returning to full contact.

IMPORTANT: This app is a tracking and guidance tool only. It does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult a doctor following a head injury. If in doubt — sit them out.
