From the beginning KIME's objectives have been to be the Employer and Provider of Choice in the communities we serve. "In sports medicine, a successful business model should be evaluated by how well a clinic can serve its patients–and a clinic can only serve its patients so far as it serves its own employees, which begins in the workplace environment.

Between Wimbledon and the Euros this year, along with a dash of rugby, we’re in for a great summer season of sports. There’s always an uptick in sports participation alongside big events, and I think it’s safe to say Jude Bellingham’s amazing bicycle kick into the bottom corner was a moment of real inspiration for many people. But let’s remember, with more activity comes more injury, particularly musculoskeletal. It’s easy to forget to stretch and warm up, which means we’re more prone to sprains, strains and tears. At HBSUK, we see this uptick first-hand. While many of us are enjoying the summer sports, our healthcare systems see extra strain from people trying their hand at their favourite sport. In my view, this situation underscores the need for innovative healthcare solutions. Digital health platforms, for instance, can play a pivotal role in effectively handling this surge. By providing quick and accurate assessments, patients can receive the care they need without overwhelming traditional healthcare settings. This is especially true for MSK injuries, which require timely intervention to prevent longer term issues. As we enjoy and draw inspiration from these summer sporting events, it’s crucial to also reflect on how we can better support our clinicians. They are the unsung heroes who keep everything running smoothly, even when faced with sudden increases in demand. Here’s to a healthy, active summer and to all those working tirelessly behind the scenes in healthcare.

We all know that physical activity is good for us. In fact it’s been cited as a ‘miracle cure’. Sport England's new research shows the huge value that physical activity has on society and the economy, including improving our health, preventing illness and saving the NHS billions. However, in London we’re facing a physical inactivity crisis with those in the poorest communities facing the greatest challenges of inequalities and barriers to leading an active life, which has a detrimental impact on their health and well-being. We need more investment and commitment from local and national Government - as well as corporates, elite sport and others - to create more equitable access to sport and physical activity, and unlock the huge benefits for our economy, health and society.
