Wimbledon Clinics offers a free medical educational programme to health professionals. This regular programme provides an up-to-date and multi-disciplinary overview of musculoskeletal and sports-related problems from local experts in relevant fields. During the year, nationally recognised guest speakers will be invited.

As part of our ongoing commitment to education and research in the field of musculoskeletal injuries and sports medicine, Wimbledon Clinics provides sponsorship to assist research fellows studying for higher degrees with Imperial College, London.
