THE SECRETARY'S COLUMN

Since my last column, in which dwelt on some of the problems of the recognition of sports medicine and thequestion of a specific diploma, it may be of interest to look in this Journal at some more fundamental problems ofrunning sports clinical services at all.

Since Dr. Ben Woodard first took an interest in the medical problems of athletes shortly after the Second World War,a few clinicians have attempted to separate their sports patients from all other attenders, but it was not until the earlyseventies that anyone attempted systematically to increase the number of sports injury clinics available in Britain.

An initiative by The Sports Council sought to establish a sports injuries clinic in most of the country's DistrictGeneral Hospitals so that any injured sportsman could be sure of obtaining prompt and satisfactory clinical treatment.However, there were substantial problems in achieving even this limited goal and the upshot of this initiative was thatless than a score of clinics were established or co-ordinated across the country. This was an under-estimate of the totalnumber of clinicians interested in sports medicine and, for instance, some clinicians known to be holding sports clinicsdeclined to join The Sports Council's Pilot Scheme because of differences of opinion over the logistic support requiredto expand already established clinics, as opposed simply to setting them up.

Unfortunately, the last five years have seen a steady erosion of the number and interest of sports clinics in the SportsCouncil's Scheme. The questionnaire devised for these clinics was criticised as giving insufficient information in depthbut was initially justified as being a manifestation of interest in sports injuries clinics rather than a serious documentupon which scientific research would be based.

A statistical report on the outcome of the first Sports Council Pilot Clinics is still awaited after a rather protractedgestational period, but has probably been pre-empted by publications both in Britain and abroad.

The sad fact remains that in Britain, where there is no financial or career incentive for those wishing to treatsportsmen, there are only as many sports injury clinics as there are clinicians prepared to devote themselves to thisparticular interest. The failure of The Sports Council's hopes has surely demonstrated amply that it is difficult to buyclinicians into sports medicine without some of the more tangible forms of bribery common to the rest of the N.H.S.medical scene, e.g. seniority allowances for G.P.s, merit awards for Consultants, various post-graduate trainingallowances and above all some career development incentive.

At the present time, there is an urgent need for clinical services to the sportsman to be expanded, in head-on conflictwith an even more urgent need being shown by the present government to axe the N.H.S.s provision of clinical servicesto all patients for financial reasons. If it is true to say that the public has never been consulted about its wish to choosebetween paying something for proper services and paying nothing for less than proper services, this is nowhere moretrue than in the matter of healthy sportsmen who, being among the younger, fitter and more able of our workingpopulation could, of all people, afford to insure themselves against the self-imposed risks of sports injuries. Theprovision of privately based sports injuries services would be practicable and cheap and the only reason this cannot bedone through the N.H.S. is that there appears to be no way in N.H.S. accounting for cheap specialties such as

rehabilitation to be separated from the inevitable overheads of running an extremely expensive general medical service,including such costly items as intensive care and major surgery. So severe have the present cuts in the N.H.S. been thatit is now almost impossible to maintain outpatient physiotherapy services at even a holding level. There is no

foreseeable prospect of improvement. What is more daunting for the enthusiast, there is no way in which new areas ofexpansion such as sports medicine can be budgeted for when basic medical care as such is being systematically andpolitically reduced.

We have therefore, as an Association, and as individuals within it, to look at any and all ways in which we can stillprovide some sort of service for our sportsmen. Clearly existing clinics within the N.H.S. must be helped to survive at allcosts. Equally clearly, no new service is likely to be set up in any particular hospital without a clinician of proven

enthusiasm to lead the way and pursue his own clinical interest. Thirdly there is known to be a vast almost untappedreserve of interest in sports clubs themselves, the remedial professions such as Physiotherapists and Remedial Gymnastsand there is still the whole potential market of private health insurance to be tapped for sportsmen.

Certain groups of sportsmen have seen the present picture clearly and taken steps to guard themselves to some

extent. For instance, the International Athletes Club has negotiated a block subscription with a leading health insurance

188

company for its own members. Is it hoping too much that health insurance companies can see the commercialprofitability of a limited "sportsman's risk" type of policy specifically and only for sports medical care? At a time offinancial cut back and N.H.S. stalemate, even those of us most keenly trying to support an ailing N.H.S. must look at abroader challenge of maintaining health services for the entire population, not only the diminishing percentage of thepopulation likely to achieve satisfaction through the limited portals of the N.H.S.

NEWS OF MEMBERS

Dr. P. N. Sperryn, our Hon. Secretary, has been appointed by the Minister, Mr. Dennis Howell, to the Sports Counciland to have special responsibilities concerning information and research.

Surgeon Rear Admiral Stanley Miles, a member of our Executive Committee and Editorial Board, relinquishes his postas Post-graduate Dean of Medicine in the University of Manchester to become Director of an assessment and screeningunit in Aberdeen, with special responsibilities for the health of off-shore oil workers, including divers. A review of thefourth edition of his book "Underwater Medicine" will appear in the next number of this Journal.

Dr. John. E. Kane, also on both Executive Committee and Editorial Board of the B.A.S.M. has resigned his post ofPrincipal at Loughborough College of Education to become Principal of the West London Institute of HigherEducation, Borough Road, Isleworth, Middlesex.

Dr. George Nightingale, Medical Adviser to the Modern Pentathlon Association, attended the B.A.S.M./F.I.M.S. courseat Loughborough last year, and we would like to think that the knowledge he gained has helped to win one of Britain'svery few Olympic Gold Medals, and we are especially pleased that his son was one of that team.
