Virtual Conference 2021
The 2021 FMPA conference will take a critical look at the MDT; the Past, Present and Future. The last 10 years have seen a proliferation of the field of Sports Science and Medicine; for the better? As each individual discipline strives for recognition amongst a landscape of opinions, how do we create clarity amongst the inevitable chaos? How is it best achieved? The term interdisciplinary team is frequently used but how does this truly look? More importantly, how does this truly work? Calling on experts across world leading institutions, a wide-ranging assembly of MDT speakers will discuss best practice, challenges faced and what the future holds for want-to-be world leading performance and medicine departments.

THE 21ST CENTURY CLUB: CHALLENGES FOR THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE MDT
Like all organisations, football clubs and their MDT have undergone significant transformation in the 21st century driven by increasing financial investment and advances in science and technology. Increasing size and expertise, emerging technology, growing importance of data and the proliferation of information in science and medicine continue to enhance the effectiveness of the MDT. These developments, however, present challenges which can reduce the effectiveness of the MTD if they are not appropriately addressed. Warren will present an overview of the key issues associated with these sources of disruption together with solutions which aim to enhance the ability of the MDT to derive insights which enhance performance.
