I hope that my findings will raise awareness for concussion and the possible impact it may have. My tutor has suggested that I continue to develop my dissertation and look to get it published in a scientific journal.

The average time since the participant’s last concussion was 6 years and so it would be interesting to see if different results were found in people with more recent concussions. It is also important to know that long-term effects could also be present many years later.

I have also been asked to support my tutor on a study into the effects on cognition from heading in football following my graduation. In the longer-term, I would like to become a Clinical Psychologist. Therefore, the opportunity to enhance my research skills and understanding of Psychology, and get my work published is so valuable.
