- To answer questions and provide advice from leading experts in the field on how to handle tricky cases in your practice
- To discuss and debate ways in which populations can be encouraged to live more active lifestyles, how to turn research into policy, and how this impacts on reducing preventable diseases

Our values
The event will be planned and delivered according to the following values:
Equity
We acknowledge the social determinants of health, and the inequalities that are present between different countries, communities, systems and populations. We will discuss these issues, and work together to create fairer systems leading to justice.
Diversity and inclusion
We are committed to ensuring diversity and inclusion across our programme. This extends to the subjects we cover and equitable representation of speakers in terms of gender, ethnicity, and geographical location.
Patient, practitioner, and athlete involvement
We ensure patients, practitioners, and athletes are involved in the planning, design and delivery of the event, and that their expertise is taken seriously in everything we do.
Evidence based practice
Our programme will be based on latest evidence, published guidelines and research to offer robust, effective and safe recommendations.
