I was also based at the UK Sport Intensive Rehabilitation Unit. And attended European and World Championships and the Olympic Games.
During my time as club and national team doctor I was part of and have led multi-disciplinary sports medicine and sports science teams. I have organized in-house CPD programs, audited club football injuries over several seasons and participated in developing an international European Football Injury Study.
