A one-day, in-person event. About 70 attendees. Multidisciplinary speakers. "integration in sport" was the theme. We have completed a long-term project to define the competencies for full Membership of the Sports Faculty (Silver level). This will be announced to our membership next week including details of our programme to help them achieve these new competencies. Currently, the excellent ICSC programme fulfuls the competencies to achieve Licenciate status (Bronze level). This new programme fulfuls the competencies to achieve Membership status (Silver level). Fellowship (Gold status) is achieved via a number of routes including further documented clinical experience, research, formal level-7 study. We have an article about Sports Chiropractic and the RCC Sports Faculty being published this month in the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine (BASEM) quarterly magazine. This should reach a large multidisciplinary audience. We have our AGM in January. My time as Chair has come to an end (3 years) and I will be stepping down. There will be a formal process before announcing the new Chair. Thank you FICS for your help and support over the past 3 years. |
