As the Paris 2024 Olympic Games approach, we proudly reflect on our 12-year collaboration with the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM), a legacy project from the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The NCSEM is a partnership among universities, healthcare trusts, local authorities, and organisations from the private and voluntary sectors. It operates through three regional hubs: Sheffield, the East Midlands, and London, home to the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health (ISEH).
Highlights of the NCSEM’s achievements since 2012 include:
-
Over £65 million in research funding which is exploring the ways physical activity and nutrition can positively benefit our health and quality of life
-
Supporting clinicians and healthcare professionals to deliver more than one million clinical appointments
-
Supporting the education and training of current and future healthcare professionals through 38,000 professional development opportunities
We are thrilled to announce the release of a report that highlights the significant positive impact the NCSEM has had on the health and wellbeing of communities nationwide over the past 12 years. This includes various projects and research conducted at the ISEH.
Professor Fares Haddad (Director of ISEH) said: “The last 12 years have seen the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health flourish in partnership with our colleagues in the Midlands and in Sheffield and has seen impactful developments across all National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine partners. We have seen growth in research, in education, in clinical service delivery, and in the translation of our work to improve the health of our population. It has been a wonderful journey that will leave a lasting Olympic legacy."
