Chirosport SA

Background: The primary function of the FICS Executive Council (ExCo) is oversight of the organisation's strategic direction to grow the sports chiropractic community on the world stage. The FICS Regional representatives are members of the FICS Exco, and their primary responsibility is to be the connection between the FICS ExCo and the NCSC. These reports help your Regional Representative stay connected to your NCSC strengths, weaknesses/challenges, opportunities, and tactics that the NCSC is facing. We encourage you to reach out to your FICS Regional Representative to discuss any issues you are facing so that they can contact you and discuss this at a mutually convenient time. 

Please stay connected with your FICS Regional Representative and invite them to a couple of your board meetings each year so we can build that strong connection, awareness and communication link. This online reporting template is a tool to raise reporting and does not replace the interaction between the Regions and the FICS Regional Representative. This process enables FICS and the NCSC to create a strong working relationship to provide continuous support and feedback to serve and grow the broader sports chiropractic community.

Instructions: The NCSC quarterly report has two sections:
Part I. Activities which the NCSC are working on or have been doing in the past quarter.
Part II. Areas with which the NCSC would like FICS assistance. This part will assist FICS in supporting your NCSC and sharing resources for the growth of sports chiropractic.

If there is no activity in the last quarter, a "NA" response is sufficient. However, before you list "NA", please consider any significant information/developments concerning your NCSC and sports chiropractic during this period. You may consider including any updates on projects you are working on or issues that your NCSC reported on in previous reports, which are still ongoing.

How the reports are used:
These reports are tabled and discussed by the ExCo at quarterly meetings with follow-up by the ExCo Regional Representative.

We are preparing for the Cape ABSA Epic, which is the biggest event for us on an annual basis, which is due to be held in mid Oct.
Dr Simon Lawson co presented with an Ortho, physio on mechanical back pain and highlighted the role that chiros should be a member of the team if not near the front of the team based on our training and education.
We are currently preparing for our AGM and putting together plans for next years events if they can happen and we open up.
We should be in discussion with FICS in setting up the hands on module for next year to replace the one which should have been run in April this year
We are due to run another Fieldside First Aid course, we have designed a first aid course specifically for sports docs to assist field side. This is more intense (3 days) than the conventional first aid course required by council and FICS.

CHALLENGES: List any challenges which your NCSC are facing, or your Executives are working to solve. (List N/A if none at this stage)

Mass emigration of our members over the past year as a result of sociopolitical events in SA.
No events as a result of our governments mandate and lockdown rules

Part II: Areas where FICS and your NCSC could collaborate

OPPORTUNITIES: List any opportunities which you may like FICS to help support or promote. (If applicable)

Continuing education ,

I have discussed with Dr Jon Wilhelm the development of a masterclass event to occur after a Upper and lower extremity seminar for docs who have already completed this module. For example in SA we don't get many technique workshops and a masterclass would be ideal to upskill experienced docs as well as continue a stream of education / revenue for FICS .

FOLLOW-UP: Please select any followup you are interested in. FICS will get the respective Commission Chair or your Regional Rep to contact you. (If applicable)Regional Rep
