Fortius Clinic is the UK’s single largest orthopaedic group with an international reputation in sports injury treatment. In 2012 Fortius was recognised by FIFA as a provider of world-class orthopaedic and musculoskeletal care and was accredited as a centre of excellence.

As part of the accreditation process, all centres have to undergo a strict selection process, and certification is granted for a period of five years, during which all centres are required to report annually on their activity. FIFA looks for experience, state of the art diagnosis and treatment, and aftercare, awarding established centres that have demonstrated their leadership in football medicine.
