1Concussion management in pediatric patients – ethical concernsSport, Ethics and Philosophy 1-15. forthcoming.Collision sports pose a high risk of concussion.

Treharne (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook of Ethics in Critical Research, Springer Verlag. pp. 145-161. 2018.Boundaries between research and clinical practice blur in health research conducted by clinician-researchers.
