Top sports medics will gather in Edinburgh from 31 March to 1 April for the International Edinburgh Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Conference, aiming to tackle key issues like ACL injury prevention and athlete osteoarthritis.
Key Themes:
- ACL Injury Prevention Think-Tank will explore how to apply evidence-based warm-up programmes across UK sports to reduce ACL injuries, particularly in women’s football.
- Topics also include managing osteoarthritis in athletes, and innovations in orthopaedic care and sports medicine.
The event, hosted by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, will bring together orthopaedic surgeons, GPs, physiotherapists, and sports medics. Guest speakers include Maree Todd, Scotland’s Minister for Sport, and Mark Bowditch, President of the British Orthopaedic Association.
The conference also runs alongside the International Conference on Golf and Health, examining the physical and mental health benefits of golf and its potential as a health-promotion tool.
