national centre for sport and exercise medicine - east midlands
Loughborough
The NCSEM East Midlands (NCSEM-EM) is one of three hubs forming the National
Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, along with London and Sheffield. The
East Midlands hub is a partnership between the University of Leicester,
Loughborough University, The University of Nottingham, University Hospitals of
Leicester NHS Trust and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. The NCSEM-EM
aims to apply world-class expertise to policies and practice that will benefit
the health and wellbeing of the nation – from everyday people at risk of ill
health through to elite athletes. Evidence shows that sport, exercise and
physical activity are effective in the prevention, treatment and management of
disease and can enhance mental health and wellbeing, reducing the risk of mental
illnesses such as depression, dementia and Alzheimer’s. The NCSEM-EM builds on
this evidence in key research areas which are translated into teaching and
training through our educational programmes and the clinical services we offer.
The NCSEM-EM has a hub and spoke structure with the hub based in a newly built
facility at Loughborough University. The building has been specifically designed
to bring together the research, education and clinical capabilities of the
partner universities and NHS trusts to facilitate the translation of research
into education, training and clinical services.
