TACKLING THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN SPORTS MEDICINE

Following the success of last year’s event, we are proud to bring you our biggest ever Sports Medicine Conference, in collaboration with Arsenal Football Club and FA Medical Society (FAMS). This year, we’re focusing even more on the most pressing challenges in football and sports medicine, including bone health and stress injuries, shoulder instability, female ACL injuries, hamstring injuries, osteochondral defects, and recurrent knee effusion.

With a carefully designed programme, shaped by Arsenal FC, SMUG, FAMS and delegate feedback from last year, this event ensures a cutting-edge learning experience.

Held at the iconic Emirates Stadium in central London, this conference brings together leading experts in clinical assessment, patient management, rehabilitation, imaging, and surgical interventions. Because looking after elite athletes is a team game.
Gain invaluable insights into muscle, ligament and tendon injury.
Learn from top clinicians as they share real-world cases — victories and setbacks alike.
Stay ahead of the curve with the latest research and trends in sports medicine.
This is the must-attend event for sports doctors, surgeons, radiologists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, rehabilitation therapists, and any clinician passionate about sports medicine.

Don’t miss out — join us at the Emirates Stadium and be part of the future of sports medicine.
