Newcastle and Durham Universities, in association with the British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine, are proud to host the next Undergraduate Sport and Exercise Medicine Conference<\/a>. The event will take place on the 10th October 2015 at <\/strong>Newcastle University<\/a><\/strong>, and provide a fantastic opportunity to gain further insight into the world of sport and exercise medicine from the perspective of participants, patients, physiotherapists and physicians.<\/a><\/p>\n

As rugby fever grips the host nation of the Rugby World Cup, we’ll be bringing you Matt Tinsley<\/strong> from Newcastle Falcons and Ian Blain<\/strong> from Newcastle Thunder Rugby to discuss the challenges of working in a contact sport. Keynote speaker Allyson Pollock<\/strong>, professor of public health research and policy at Queen Mary’s Hospital and author of “Tackling Rugby”, will share her controversial views on investing rugby in schools, and if rugby isn’t your thing, there is still plenty there for you. We will discuss running and triathlon recovery and adaptation with Dr Chris Valis<\/strong>, former Great North Run Director, and Dr Phil Hayes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon we’ve got even more choices during our workshop streams that cover a wide range of SEM topics<\/a>!<\/p>\n
