Experts across the world will soon convene in Monaco for the 4th IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury and Illness in Sport. The final program is now available.
Looking beyond injuries and illnesses, the Conference, set to take place from 10 to 12 April in Monaco, will explore risk factors, mechanisms and effective prevention strategies to ensure that athletes are fit and healthy, in and out of competition.

“The Conference will feature one highlight after the other, starting with the dynamic duo of Prof Dohmnall Macauley and Prof Karim Khan, [BMJ/BJSM editors] discussing the latest progress in injury prevention, and ending with a session on how advances in equipment and technology can help prevent injury.”
