Exercise Medicine 2014
While sports medicine gets a lot of attention, exercise medicine is a key topic that has the ability to impact millions of people. Now in its second year, the annual Exercise Medicine Conference from the Sport and Exercise Medicine Section of the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) is designed to bring together a wide range of individuals from all areas of healthcare to discuss the important topic of exercise. The conference programme includes experts from disciplines such as epigenetics, digital health and technology, as well as behaviour, policy and education to present on how we can get more people physically active, and what best practice is for exercise medicine.
The welcome and introductions will be hosted by the President of the Sport and Exercise Medicine Section of the RSM, Dr Mike Loosemore and the President of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine UK, Dr Roderick Jaques, will be presenting a session on Introduction to Creating Change.
