Katharine Evans (Saracens rugby player and patient at ISEH) put through her paces in the ISEH gymnasium.
Lord Sebastian Coe officially opened a new sport institute which will be a lasting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, treating elite athletes, 'weekend warriors' and NHS patients under the same roof. The Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health (ISEH) will provide a national and international hub for clinical and academic work in sport, exercise medicine and sports injury rehabilitation with the objective of becoming a world leader in its field. The ISEH is a partnership between UCL, UCLH (University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), HCA Hospitals, the English Institute of Sport and the British Olympic Association. Its aim is to increase exercise in the community; develop strategies to prevent diseases related to inactivity; and prevent, diagnose and manage injuries for both professional and amateur athletes. Part of the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, the new institute is London's long-term health legacy from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Institute will be the most impressive and sustained health legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our clinical and academic expertise will not only help our athletes win medals but help treat 'weekend warriors' who pick up sporting injuries.
