The National Sports Medicine Institute (NSMI) and the British Association of Sport and Medicine (BASM) are two medical charities that, in partnership, run a National Programme of postgraduate sport and exercise medicine courses for all NHS approved healthcare professionals. We have a few places left on the Intermediate Sports Injury Course Part Two that runs from 11 - 16 July 1999. The course has five days PGEA approval and is CME accredited. It takes place at the Lilleshall National Sports Centre in Shropshire. If you've not been there, it's worth the visit. Scenic beauty combined with on site Human Performance Centre and Sports Injury Centre plus the permanent base for the FA Medical Education Centre, the British Amateur Gymnastics Association and the Home Office. The centre is used regularly by national squads in a variety of sports. International teams also visit. Previous experience in sports medicine is necessary and delegates will usually have completed the NSMI/BASM General Sports Medicine Course. The course content complements that of the Part One Intermediate Course that will run in November 1999. One of the main aims of the Part Two course is to provide delegates with the opportunity to study and examine normal joints and the course has a large practical component including sessions on the practical handling of cervical spine injuries and examination and rehabilitation of groin injuries. The head and groin are covered in detail with special attention being given to injuries specific to a variety of sports including combat sports and rugby. Finally, the value of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in returning the sportsperson to full recovery or competition is reviewed. If anyone on the list would like full details of any of this course, or any of the other sport and exercise medicine courses that we run, please contact Barry Hill on [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
