Peter Brownson, Bone and Joint Centre partner and leading expert in conditions of the shoulder and elbow, recently attended a sports medicine conference along with such well regarded speakers as Joe de Beer from Capetown, South Africa. Mr Brownson presented a lecture on the examination of the shoulder and rotator cuff problems in the athlete. There were also key representatives from many football and rugby clubs, including the Football Association, in attendance. All keen to hear from Mr Brownson on his diagnostic advances in the subject.

There was a further international presence from Mr Brownson when he attended an Artthrex sponsored course in Munich where again he lectured on rotator cuff problems as part of a strong UK faculty. Back on home turf a similar lecture was also delivered to a local audience of GPs at a forum held in Merseyside.
