Join us for our Surgeon, Sports Doctor & Allied Health series in 2026.

Professional development that helps you learn, connect & network with professionals and allows you to ask questions to help you and your patients. 

Each month, on a Thursday, we host a panel of healthcare professionals on a specific condition. This panel often includes a surgeon, sports doctor, and allied health professional or a combination depending on the topic. We preference expertise on a topic over sticking to a particular line up!

We will discuss current research for conservative and medical management, surgical procedures and rehabilitation of each condition. The goal is for every single participant to walk away with a thorough understanding of the most up to date management for the conditions we see every day and how we can better support our patients through their medical management and surgery. We want you to take pearls home that you can implement in your practice the very next day!

This is also an opportunity to gain access to other health professionals from a range of disciplines, as well as specialists who are experts in their areas of clinical proficiency. Our speakers are briefed to target their talks at an Allied Health Audience who will be seeing these clients throughout their management.

The format of each evening will be a short presentation by each speaker followed by a panel discussion and Q&A from the audience. The atmosphere is relaxed and the collective goal is learning and improving your practice.
