Join us in the heart of Edinburgh for the Third International Conference on Golf and Health. This two-day event offers a comprehensive exploration of health, sports, and orthopaedic advancements.
The Golf and Health Conference will focus on maximising health benefits through the game of golf. Sessions will cover topics such as the impact of golf on well-being, the role of golf clubs as health-promoting facilities, and the concept of “golf on prescription.” Delegates will also delve into key topics like injury prevention and management, adaptations for disabled golfers, nutrition, strength, conditioning, and insights tailored for female golfers. From examining specific injuries to learning shot-saving techniques from professionals, this conference will provide essential tools for integrating golf as a health-enhancing activity.
This event will provide a unique opportunity to network with leaders in golf, orthopaedics, and sports medicine, offering practical insights for healthcare professionals working to optimise athlete health and enhance patient outcomes across various settings.
