THE EXPERTS IN SPORT MEDICINE

NSWIS doctors integrate closely with all clinical services at NSWIS including physiotherapy, dietetics and psychology. Their role is to offer world class injury and illness management as a part of the wider clinical team and they are involved with the NSWIS performance health department in minimising time loss and risk of injury and illness. 

NSWIS sports doctors provide one on one consultations with athletes, and their parents when required, to give medical advice, intervention, facilitate scans like MRI and Xray as well as pathology (blood tests). An endocrinologist is also a part of the NSWIS medical team.
