This event is almost sold out. To book your place, register now.
The Royal Society of Medicine and Dance UK have once again come together to organise a one-day dance and sports medicine conference. These two areas have much in common in terms of the demands placed on the human body and mind, and the run up to the London 2012 Olympics seems a great moment to learn from each other. In these two high performance environments risk of injury is ever present and its effects can jeopardise careers. There has already been a certain amount of cross fertilisation between the worlds of sports and dance medicine, with an increasing number of practitioners having worked with both athletes and dancers.

With financial help from PPL (the company that licenses use of sound recordings and videos), BAPAM is currently working with University College London (UCL) to set up a Diploma/MSc in Performing Arts Medicine. The academic programme, examinations and administration will be provided by UCL. The course is designed for doctors, physiotherapists and allied medical professionals.
The Diploma course will consist of 120 credits in research methods, ethics, performance physiology, anatomy and psychology and modules in medicine related to instrumental musicians, dancers, singers and actors. The MSc will involve a further 60 credits and a research project in one of the subspecialties of music, dance and voice – BAPAM and UCL are currently establishing relationships with collaborating institutions (such as the Royal College of Music) to help deliver the programme.
The course will be available full-time (one year for the diploma) or part-time (two years). It will be competitively priced and we are actively working on an affordable costing. The anticipated start date is September 2011.
This is an exciting development in a growing field, both in the UK and internationally. It will be the only such medical course available in the UK and we hope it will enable us to consolidate and spread experience throughout the country commensurate to the current high (but ad hoc) standing of Performing Arts Medicine in Britain.
Further information and updates will be posted on this website as they become available. If you wish to be advised as to progress, please register your possible interest by emailing admin@bapam.org.uk, entitling your email ‘PAM Expression of Interest’.
