BASEM 2013 Congress 31 Oct - 1 Nov 2013


The conference returns to St Georges Park in England in
October 2013, prior to the conference being hosted in
Scotland and Wales in October 2014 and 2015 respectively.
The theme of the conference is focused on a new era for BASEM
and the specialty of SEM with ‘an expanding field of practice’.
The programme contains scientific evidence based material as
well as empirical data, experience and anecdotes. Time keeping
will be strict to ensure that the discussion sessions are respected
and lead to constructive interaction and debate.

Delegates may attend practical sessions throughout the whole
conference for hands on learning and skill development. BASEM
celebrates its warm association with physiotherapists, sports
therapists and doctors in many specialties both in Great Britain
and in Europe. 

2012 was a celebration of sport like no other in modern times
in Great Britain. We now move into a phase of uncertainty
alongside words of “austerity” and “legacy”.

For the specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine to thrive
and prosper, medical education needs to be encouraged and
supported more than ever. The specialists in this area need to
gain control over their own specialty and move forwards with
the confidence to establish roles and job creation for the
doctors of the future. There are many other countries wanting
to establish Sport and Exercise Medicine as a specialty and
they are looking to Great Britain, amongst others, to set
an example.

ISOKINETIC Football Medicine Strategies London 2013 Muscle and Tendon Injuries 22/04/2013 www.footballmedicinestrategies.com

Course Summary:


The lsokinetic Medical Group, a FlFA Medical Centre of Excellence, is proud to announce that the 22" International Sports Rehabilitation and Traumatology Conference will return to London following its success in 2012. Whilst the previous conference focused exclusively on the knee, in 2013 we will concentrate on footballers' muscle and tendon injuries.



An outstanding selection of internationally recognised experts in Football Medicine will converge to share their knowledge and expertise in a wide range of areas. Furthermore, we hope to continue our commitment of promoting research and scientific sharing by organising this meeting in conjunction with the FlFA & UEFA Medical Committees, F-MARC and The FA.



The conference will boast over 100 leading speakers, ranging from academics to surgeons, physiotherapists to club physicians.



The conference has been designed based upon the common challenges presented to football players and their support teams and is a unique opportunity for the global Football Medicine community to congregate and share the most recent research for practical application at all levels of the game.



--- Key Sessions ---



We have organised over 18 sessions across multiple rooms, providing each delegate with an opportunity to attend sessions they find the most interesting and relevant for their disciplines. These include the Groin Pain, Hamstriong Lesions, Upper Limb Muscle & Tendon Injuries, Quadriceps & Patellar Tendon Injuries, Calf Muscle & Achilles Tendon Injuries, Muscle & back Pain, Injection therapies and many more.



--- Conference aimed at ---



Club physicians, physiotherapists, academics in SEM, orthopaedic surgeons, sports therapists, fitness/rehabilitation coaches, sport scientists, aspirational students/trainees, coaches and General Practitioners.



--- SUMMIT – 22nd APRIL 2013 ---



The current cost of injuries in professional sport is extremely high, both in economic and social costs, making the debate around health, rehabilitation and injury prevention in professional and amateur players all the more topical.



Increasing use of artificial turf, new types of equipment, higher physical and commercial demands: as well as an increasing numbers of games played have all modified the incidence and type of injuries players experience, in turn affecting the way in which we handle rehabilitation.



Speakers at this Summit will share their own expertise from daily, on-field experience through oral presentations and practical sessions.

The first contract in Camden is well established and the successful applicant will take over the role from the current SEM Consultant in post. The Camden role includes assessment and management of GP- referred patients as part of a multidisciplinary MSK team including Physiotherapists, Podiatry, Osteopaths, GPs with Special Interest (GPwSI), Rheumatologist, Orthopaedic Surgeons and integrated Pain Service. In this contract there are strong links with University College Hospital (UCH) and Royal Free Hospital.

The second contract is due to begin in September in Kensington& Chelsea involving a new GP-commissioned NHS community MSK service. This contract will be provided in full partnership with Chelsea & Westminster NHS Trust Hospital and involves a similar multidisciplinary community service to Camden. The post-holder would work within this service clinically alongside Trust staff as well as sit on the “MSK Board” which oversees the successful running of the service. The SEM Consultant would support the Clinical Director of the ChelWest musculoskeletal department (an Orthopaedic Surgeon) overseeing the clinical aspects of the service.

In both contracts, the post-holder would have responsibility for clinical support to the team, particularly the physiotherapists at all levels and GPwSIs. There would also be a teaching commitment to the rest of the team and GPs within both boroughs. In addition Connect plans to run a GPwSI training programme in London, reproducing successful programmes elsewhere in the UK. The post-holder would be a key person in the operation of this programme and teaching on it. The successful applicant will possess excellent clinical skills and skills/ developing proficiency with MSK Ultrasound.

Connect Physical Health is a longstanding independent provider of high quality NHS MSK services with patients at the centre of care. Connect is expanding rapidly in the Community MSK sector across the UK and in London. The successful candidate in this role would be expected to be able to represent Connect favourably to GP Commissioners and potential partner organisations including NHS Hospital Trusts. The ability to relate to GPs and Hospital Consultants will be an important part of the role.

Linked to this role, there is the potential for 2 sessions in SEM at the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health and University College Hospital, London. Pending approvals, the Connect MSK opportunity would provide four sessions per week plus extra sessions for GPwSI training, with up to two extra sessions in SEM possible at UCH.

This is an exciting role with the ability to develop the scope of the role and clinical practice. It is likely that further sessions up to full-time may develop. The candidate would be fully supported by the Clinical Lead for Connect, a Consultant in Sports & Exercise Medicine. Start date would be as soon as possible after 1st August.
