Do you have a good case study to share? Or would you like to share your strategy on injury prevention?
We would like to hear from you. Helping out with a case study is a great way to share best practice and promote your own work. We would love to hear about current or past programmes.
It involves a short interview, and you can provide any supporting materials which will help you explain your work. We would be particularly interested to hear from people with programmes that have been evaluated.
Email info@makingthelink.net to submit a case study.
