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.
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.”
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 aims to unite 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, represents one of the largest multidisciplinary groups in UK sport and exercise medicine, aiming to improving safety, recovery, and long-term brain health outcomes for athletes of all ages and abilities.
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.”
