What a way to wrap up a Year in Industry! 🏆 Congratulations to our BSc Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation students, Chloe and Millie, who ended their placement year on a high by celebrating @CAFCofficial's EFL League One play-off final win at Wembley last weekend! 🎉 Over the course of the season, Chloe and Millie gained invaluable hands-on experience working with the first-team squad, applying the skills and knowledge developed during their studies at Kent so far. Well done to both students and to everyone at Charlton Athletic 👏 #Charlton #LeagueOne #playofffinal #UniKent @UniKentSportSci

With my boy playing football just across the road this morning, I had to pop my head into Horn Park, home of Old Colfeians RFC. Have great memories here as their physio from 2008-10. Great club and great people. Glad to see the place hasn’t changed…just a few more greys on me!!

Good luck to Team Row4Cancer as they take on the World’s Toughest Row! 🌊 The team set off earlier this morning and will row 4,800km from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua & Barbuda — braving 20ft waves and burning 5,000 calories a day. We're delighted to have supported the team with their preparations over the last two years, with our incredible School of Sport and Exercise Sciences supporting them with top-tier fitness assessments and a rigorous training regime. We'll be cheering them on every stroke of the way! 💪 worldstoughestrow.com

Great week so far supporting Team Singapore at the 2024 Touch Rugby World Cup in Nottingham 🇸🇬 A great collaborative medical team effort ably supported by Sports Rehab and Physio students from @UniKentSportSci and @UniofNottingham respectively.

Back at @EUFCofficial today with @UniKentSportSci to continue pre-season testing with the squad as their preparations ramp up for the start of the new season. Using the @VALDPerformance ForceDecks to gather data on a series of jump tests. #authenticlearning #performancetesting

@DeasunO Congratulations Des! If your Galway teams ever fancy coming over on tour to the Garden of England to play the University of Kent teams, we’d be pleased to host you! Best wishes 👊

I am very proud to be joining the University of Galway as Director of Sport & Physical Wellbeing. The priority is to develop Sports Performance and Sport for all in the University. Thanks to everyone at Setanta College for the last 2.5 years. It is great to see how it has grown.

Great day with our BSc Sports Therapy & Rehab students @UniKent @UniKentSportSci supporting the @PilgrimsHospice charity ride in Canterbury today, providing much needed post-race massage to some weary limbs. Over 100 treatments delivered🥵 Well done to all finishers 🚴🏅

Delighted to have the medical faculty from @FAWales with us over the next two weekends here @UniKent to deliver their UEFA Level 4 pre-hospital trauma course to our students on the BSc Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation programme @UniKentSportSci @BASRaTorg #authenticlearning

@DeasunO Don’t forget BASRaT Des! They are making some positive moves to improve the education and regulation in the Sports Rehabilitation sector, pushing for involvement in the long-overdue reforms of NHS health delivery along with new international recognition @BASRaTorg

It is clear from comments on social media that education will help protect coaches & players. It’s important coaches understand the what/how/who about sharing Sci & Med information. It’s important to use or get support from trained, registered and accredited professionals.

@PhysioCardiff @WelshRugbyUnion Very sad news. I remember Julian well on the football circuit from my time at Charlton Athletic. Always very welcoming and engaging at The Hawthorns. RIP

Totally devastated to learn of the sudden passing of my colleague Dr Julian Widdowson. An absolute gentleman… Jules was a pleasure to work with and great company off the pitch #RIPJules #TopMan #TopDoc
