We endeavour to provide a wide range of speakers including industry leading consultants, chief medical officers of sporting unions, paralympians and athletes from a range of sports to share their unique insights.
FISIC is a unique opportunity to meet and network with hundreds of practising professionals and leaders in sports injury medicine under one roof!
In addition to a two day conference, each year an exclusive conference dinner will be held for all attendees to provide an informal networking opportunity. Guests can enjoy superb food and drinks at a luxury London venue.
As a not-for-profit educational conference, FISIC would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors and exhibitors.

2019 consisted of our largest FISIC yet! Compiled of 26 summits over two days, the programme featured a collective of talk topics, randing from broader talks on managing common orthopaedic conditions in different sub specialities, to focusing on sports specific injuries in football, rugby and cricket to just name a few!
An internationally renowned team of 120 specialists provided the lastest insights into the treatment and prevention of sporting injuries. Key note speakers included Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and Mick Fitzgerald along with industry leaders like Dr Simon Kemp, Specialist Sports Medicine Doctor and the Chief Medical Officer for the Rugby Football Union, Dr Jordi Puigdellívol, Orthopaedic Surgeon at Football Club Barcelona (FCB) and Althaia Hospital Manresa (CIMETIR), just to name a few.
Over 650 of the UK’s brightest minds including orthopaedic surgeons, sports physicians, physiothearpists and allied health professionals, gathered to review the latest thinking and best practice in sports injury treatment and management of athletes.
The theme ‘From Start to Finish’ reflected the 360° approach of the two-day programme, covering topics such as identification and treatment of underlying issues to rehabilitation strategies and return to play. A running theme was the importance of a co-ordinated approach to performance and prevention of injury, as well as talking about the most effective treatments, followed by managed rehabilitation – a smooth and effective baton pass.
Our first ever FISIC took place in 2015 at the renowned Queen Elizabeth II Centre. Amongst the delegates were 70 members of World Rugby’s top medical teams who came to debate and learn more on the current medical issues and hot topics within their sport from concussion, to management of return to play.
The event was timed to coincide with a brief interlude in play before the Quarter Finals, and gave team medical personnel a unique opportunity to participate in a world-class, multidisciplinary congress.
