Foreword by Dr Paul D Jackson, President of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (UK)
“Influencing public health policy and the NHS, the way in which patients are cared for, standards and availability of Sport and Exercise Medicine services in the UK is an important part of the work we do.
“The unique perspective and expertise of our Members and Fellows helps to shape healthcare policy on a number of key issues affecting the future direction of the specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine and its ability to provide and improve healthcare services for the general public and those participating in sport and exercise at all levels.”
