Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation will feature 3 separate dedicated conference tracks across both days and will feature:

Sports Medicine and Injury: This will cover all aspects of the four key joints, including ankle, knee, shoulder and hip. The conference will provide a forum for the exchange of practical and technical information on the broad range of current and emerging areas in sports injury treatment and prevention.

Rheumatology: The 2-day Rheumatology Conference will be divided into two distinct days, with day one dedicated to Rheumatologists and day two designed for General Practitioners with a special interest in rheumatology.
