Members of the Sport and Exercise SIG had a successful strategy day in Leeds on March 16. Attendees are pictured above. Our grateful thanks go to Allan Johnston and his team at PHIL for hosting us and to our guest speakers Amit Mistry and Tim Rogers. Tim will now be leading a project to describe ‘the competencies of a sports psychiatrist’ with help from other group members while Amit will continue his work on exercise interventions across the span of mental health problems. Work is also ongoing to build databases of relevant literature. The next group meeting is planned for London in September.
