Streuth! A real shame to see our Strayan cobbas not being given a fair suck of the sav. Is this un-Australian? John Orchard @ACastricum Louise Tulloh

From the size of that stage and those slides it looks like there’s enough room for all of China in that auditorium #ChairmanFulch #BSD

If I had just seen this video first it would have saved a writing whole position statement ACSEP ACC New Zealand 😭 Great advice from a sporting legend #sportspecialisation

One of the best in the business is michael makdissi so get there is you can

Well at least in Straya you are trying to cut back on unnecessary imaging. Here in NZ it seems ACC New Zealand want to see more MRIs by broadening access to funded scans, and don’t get me started on the knee USS epidemic.

Please ACC New Zealand can we stop allowing USS of the knee to be ordered when the question is around chondral or mensical injury or ‘internal derangement.’ It adds nothing over Hx/Ex. And that doesn’t mean they always need an MRI instead. #choosingwisely not #burningcash

Headline a bit inflammatory... not quite what was actually said... but you can’t control the headline writers ....but yep Matt, always grateful to have ACC New Zealand here in NZ

Well ACC New Zealand are giving it a nudge... but in an ideal world I think we would have better answers already... still some work to be done on how we collect injury data in NZ. Scope to truly lead the world here...

And remember that ‘play’ is good. I have a feeling that sometimes we are replacing ‘play’ with ‘organised’ sport in our pre-teens

On a roadie to talk at a conference with 4 other Sport and Exercise Physicians. Pre-conference roadies should be mandatory. Chat is a wonderful fusion of peer review with the ramblings of people at a bar...

Day 2 here in Singapore. Looking forward to doing some practical teaching out in the steamy heat Mark Fulcher

This study will def be worth a read....

Call me naive but have just found out that in NZ you can order own blood tests without needing to see a Dr (or anyone) AND without having a follow up. In a world where abnormal results are overinterpreted, and we need clincal context more than ever, how is this good medicine?

If you ever want an understanding of how hard it must be to be a GP, go and present at a GP conference and look at the range of topics covered. One minute menorrhagia the next how to assess paediatric rashes. My head nearly exploded just looking at the programme.

How good is this! Great to see the pocket CRT in there

Thanks A/Prof Jessica Orchard for presenting this!

We can’t attribute the increased ACL incidence to early specialisation. Evidence does not clearly support an increased risk of acute injury with specialisation. We need be cautious with respect to the harms we attribute to sport specialisation

If we are not careful there is a risk specialisation will be blamed for all ills in youth sport. Yes there are harms and very very few benefits. But we can’t blame it for all the badness. Currently this message is getting lost in NZ.
