Hear from our Official Sports Medicine partner Fortius Clinic as part of our series, Quins Collab. We joined forces with our Official Sports Medicine partner Fortius Clinic to, amongst other things, produce a video and an event this season. We told the story of Prop Simon Kerrod’s return to fitness from an ankle injury with a video featuring Simon, our Head of Medical Mike Lancaster and Fortius Consultant Professor James Calder reunited at Surrey Sports Park. The video showed that by working closely with Fortius, our medical team has the reassurance and confidence that our players have the best possible care. For the second year running we teamed up with Fortius to run an educational event discussing important topics around sports injuries in rugby. Aimed at healthcare professionals, the event was chaired by Fortius consultant Dr Jo Larkin and featured two other Fortius consultants, the Quins medical team and players Jack Kenningham and Sarah Bonar who talked about how they had recovered from injury post-surgery.
