We are an increasingly diverse Faculty. We work in different areas, in different specialties and different disciplines. This means there are many opportunities to contribute to both our work and the overall goal to improve the health of the nation through physical activity.
Current Opportunities
As a Member of FSEM, we provide you with the opportunity to join one of our committee or working groups, each of which involve driving forward specific objectives within the specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine.
Below is a list of the roles currently available to members at the Faculty.
We are looking to recruit members for our brand new Team Care Committee.
The Team Care Committee is the newest committee for FSEM. It will focus on developing and setting professional standards for healthcare professionals working with individual and team based athletes in the field of Team Care. This will support high quality, safe, professional practice, and develop policy and partnerships with national stakeholders. This committee has evolved from the previous Elite Sport Committee, who will now become an advisory group to the Team Care Committee. This new committee will continue to build on the progress they have already made.

An exciting opportunity has become available as we are looking to recruit a new lead for the Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) Specialty Exam Part 1.
The SEM Specialty Exam Part 1 Lead should be a Fellow of the Faculty, a current FSEM examiner, and have prior experience with FSEM question writing and standard setting, including the Membership Part 1 examination.

A huge part of the Faculty’s work involves the development of the examinations available at the Faculty. To ensure we can maintain the excellent standards required to provide a high quality examination befitting of the SEM specialty, we require volunteers to support the question writing and standard setting of the examinations.

There is an opportunity for a Specialist Registrar in Sport and Exercise Medicine to gain experience within Exercise Medicine for people living with long term conditions.
We are working with a partner to develop patient facing resources to support people to be more active. This work is building on the Risk Consensus Statement work that we published in 2019: https://movingmedicine.ac.uk/riskconsensus/
We will be developing a patient facing website which will integrate with the currently professional facing site ‘Moving Medicine’. This will be designed to help patients living with long term conditions develop their motivation to build their physical activity level.
This project will help SPR’s reach their competencies in public health, especially around population approaches to supporting people living with long term conditions. You will be supported by a highly experienced multi-professional team in specific project-based work. There will be supported opportunities to develop research interests and publications. SPR’s interested in working within exercise medicine as part of a consultant career would find this project especially useful.
This project should be deliverable within public health allocated training time with the agreement if your educational and clinical supervisors.
We are looking for a SPR to support on this project. To apply, please send through a paragraph on why you are interested in being involved with this, including any relevant experience by Wednesday 12 March 2025.
