A full-day conference exploring the complex relationship between sport, injury and rehabilitation.

We’ll look at:

• When things go wrong – understanding sports injury, its impact, and the medical and legal challenges that follow.
• When sport drives rehabilitation – how activity, innovation and mindset can rebuild confidence, independence and future opportunities.

Bringing together players, clubs, medical teams, rehabilitation specialists and legal professionals, Back in Play will create space for insight, collaboration and practical discussion on the realities of sports injury and the power of sport in rehabilitation.

Whether you’re involved in sport, supporting rehabilitation, or advising when things go wrong, this event will bring together the knowledge and experiences that shape lives through sport.

The Brain Injury at Birth Conference was held on 1 May 2025 at the Leeds Marriott Hotel, bringing together professionals from healthcare, rehabilitation, legal, and therapeutic fields. Centred around Sam’s story, the event explored the challenges families face after a birth injury and the vital role of multidisciplinary support in rehabilitation, education, legal advocacy, and trauma recovery.
