Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine-From Research to Practice
Increased opportunity for sporting involvement in the population is a welcome development and will lead to a multitude of long term health benefits across the country. In tandem with greater participation in sport however, is an increased potential for injury.
The area of orthopedic and sports medicine is rapidly advancing, yet the research underpinning developments in treatment are not always easily accessible to relevant stakeholders. Implementation of important research findings in practice is often slower than research developments. Research is most often presented at scientific conferences which are not widely attended by those outside the academic community.
UPMC Sports Medicine is a non profit health care provider which has opened a number of clinics across Ireland. UPMC Sports Medicine offer a wide variety of treatment to athletes across the county, all of which is underpinned by clinical evidence. The clinic publishes scientific literature regularly in academic journals and present the work at scientific conferences. The aim of this educational seminar is to provide an update on clinical research findings in the area of orthopedic and sports medicine to those involved with athletes and indicate how these developments in research translate to clinical practice. The target audience for this seminar are health care professionals with an interest in sporting injuries; namely GPs, physiotherapists and health care professionals who work with athletes. The program will also be targeted towards athletes.
