We were delighted to attend BASEM earlier this month, and enjoyed many interesting conversations with our members!

SEMPRIS has always been committed to facilitating collaboration and the sharing of ideas and innovations in the sector, and, as a keen supporter of BASEM we were delighted to be on the panel for the workshop ‘Sports and Exercise Medicine Careers: Navigating the journey into SEM training’.

We’re always pleased to share articles, resources and events, so in case you missed them, here are some that caught our attention October.
