Your Brain Health (YBH) has partnered with the OrthTeam Centre in Manchester, expanding access to data-driven concussion care for athletes and sports teams across the North of England and further strengthening the UK’s national concussion care infrastructure at the forefront of digital brain health innovation.
Through the partnership, the OrthTeam Centre’s dedicated Concussion Clinic will now use ScreenIT, YBH’s digital brain health platform, to record and monitor players’ recovery through every stage of the concussion pathway. ScreenIT connects clinicians, clubs and schools through a single digital platform, creating living brain health records that make recovery measurable, trackable and transparent – supporting safer, data-driven return-to-play decisions.
This partnership gives athletes across the North of England access to connected, evidence-based concussion care, aligning with efforts to create a consistent approach to brain health nationwide. Combining clinical expertise with real-world data helps enhance safety, recovery and long-term brain health outcomes.
A North–South Alliance for Concussion Care
The collaboration builds on YBH’s existing partnership with Professor Mike Loosemore and the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health (ISEH) in London creating a north–south alliance that unites world-class clinical expertise and cutting-edge digital tools to strengthen the UK’s concussion care infrastructure.
At the heart of this alliance is a shared vision: to build a national network of ‘super-centres’ for brain health in sport, where players can access the most advanced assessment, treatment and monitoring – supported by a single, connected digital system.
The OrthTeam Centre’s Concussion Clinic, part of the wider Sport and Exercise Medicine Clinics network, is led by some of the UK’s most respected Sport and Exercise Medicine consultants, including Dr John Rogers, Dr Rebecca Robinson, Dr David White, Dr Jim Kerss and Dr Bevin McCartan. It represents one of the largest multidisciplinary groups in UK sport and exercise medicine, dedicated to improving safety, recovery and long-term brain health outcomes for athletes of all ages and abilities.
Together, YBH and the OrthTeam Centre are setting new standards for concussion management – integrating evidence-based clinical practice, connected digital infrastructure and national collaboration to improve player welfare and long-term brain health outcomes.
Rachael Dawe, SEM Strategy Consultant at OrthTeam Centre, said: “I’m delighted by this partnership, which strengthens how concussion care is connected and delivered. By combining clinical expertise with digital innovation, we’re creating a more consistent, informed approach that supports both clinicians, patients and athletes throughout recovery.”
Dr Rebecca Robinson, Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine at OrthTeam Centre, said: “Your Brain Health is an asset for concussion recovery, which adds precision to the clinical approach and a digital interface at the forefront of concussion technology. Working within a multidisciplinary system with YBH and using Screen IT will enable us as clinicians to bring better recovery services to all our patients – adults and young people – experiencing concussion and enhance how we collaborate with colleagues nationally to drive research in this important area.”
Professor Mike Loosemore MBE, Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine, Institute of Sport and Exercise Health (ISEH), said: “ScreenIT has transformed how we manage athletes with concussion. Its enabled seamless digital communication between clubs and the concussion clinic at ISEH, ensuring that every clinician involved has real-time access to accurate, connected data. This has improved the quality of care, enhanced collaboration and allowed us to monitor and track recovery safely and effectively.”
David Bartlett, Chief Operating Officer at Your Brain Health, said: “Through ScreenIT, we’re building a world-leading concussion care infrastructure across the UK. This partnership with OrthTeam brings world-class clinical expertise to the North West and ensures that every player can access the best possible care. And this isn’t just for elite athletes – clubs and schools can run free baseline brain screens with ScreenIT to build a clearer picture of brain health and support safer, stronger recoveries and better-informed return-to-play decisions.”
