The Chair for the conference was Prof John William OBE which covered a range of subjects with the ISEH's Professor Haddad presenting on the hamstring injury, and the decision making process for surgery.

Industry experts then focused on the hamstring, together with groin and hip injuries, detailing the latest decision making processes, intervention techniques, injury management and rehabilitation.
