MEETING INFORMATION
One
of the aims of the United Kingdom Association of Doctors in Sport (UKADIS) is
to inform and educate those already qualified and/or working in sport and
exercise medicine. UKADIS, in
association with the British Olympic Medical Centre (BOMC) and the National Sports
Medicine Institute of the United Kingdom (NSMI), will deliver two cutting edge
events per year to discuss and debate the latest concepts within Sport and
Exercise Medicine. National and Internationally recognised speakers are being
invited to augment the expertise and experience of delegates. Each meeting will be as interactive as
possible with your contributions very much welcomed to stimulate opinion and
debate on the day. Meetings are
aimed at the medical profession as well as those professions allied to Sport
and Exercise. This particular
conference will be held at the Pavilions Great Yorkshire Show Ground Harrogate
The conference will be Chaired by Professor
Nicola Maffulli, Professor of Trauma and
Orthopaedic Surgery,
Provisional Programme
This will be a highly interactive afternoon for all medical disciplines
aspiring to be or currently involved in Olympic sport. These sessions provide an insight into
the working of the British Olympic Association in its preparations for the next
Olympics. Cases are discussed in an
open forum with a “what would you do next” format. 50% of the cases are unsolved so
contribution from the delegates is strongly encouraged. If you have a case of particular
interest then please contact Dr Rod Jaques on [log in to unmask] The day will
finish on a political note with a discussion on which sporting organisation is
doing what? Who is funding the
regional centres of sport? Who is
making the decisions about appointments of medical personnel who will be
working for The EIS? This will be a
useful session to update delegates interested in working in sport now and in
the future.

Buffet and Orientation to the bar facilities
The lectures are self explanatory. The “Ask the surgeon”
session has been included to fuel some debate. When our athletes go for surgery
to the ankle and foot, who are the “best” surgeons to refer
to? As surgical techniques vary so
much and as research is often not performed on elite athletes, how do we ensure
that we are doing our best for the athlete by referring for a surgical
opinion? The debate will be
stimulated by cases brought to the forum by those working with elite
athletes. A panel of surgeons will
answer our questions and comment on our opinions. The practical sessions in the afternoon
will allow delegates to practice basic diagnostic ultrasound under the guidance
of expert radiologists. The
examination session will be useful to pick up one or two of the finer parts of
examination of the contractile tissues, to therefore perfect your own
diagnostic capabilities.
