Lauren Keen-Hawkins: Injured amateur jockey continues progress from serious head injury


Amateur jockey Lauren Keen-Hawkins is expected to be discharged from hospital “in the very near future” following a serious head injury suffered in a fall last month.

The 22-year-old has been receiving critical care treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham after the fall at Worcester Racecourse on 1 September.

She has now been transferred to the Gloucester Royal Hospital, “where she continues to make steady progress with her rehabilitation”, the Injured Jockeys Fund said.

“She is mobile with assistance, and although confused from time to time, her mental functioning is improving,” it added.

“Lauren’s family anticipate she will be discharged from hospital in the relatively near future to continue her recovery at home and with Out-Patient Therapy from both the NHS and the Injured Jockeys Fund.”

Keen-Hawkins came down while on Faerie Cutlass at the third-last fence in the 2m4f handicap hurdle and was knocked out from the fall, with screens put up around the young jockey as she was checked.
