152The first important step is of course to get proper statistics of the injuries in each sport, and like yourself I am very concerned about the injuries in Rugby football, and feel that there should be statutory duties laid down by a doctor associated with the sport to ensure that all deaths and unacceptable injuries such as paraplegias and traumatic encephalopathy are reported to headquarters. There are so many branches of Sports Medicine in other countries, particularly in sports psychology, which tend to be neglected in this country, that the only solution I can envisage would be a Diploma in Sports Medicine, quite apart from the Diploma in Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, and certainly worthy of more than being one of the six elected special subjects taken in the new diploma of the Conjoint Board. I had felt that the ideal place for a Diploma would be a University Medical School in conjunction with a specialist physical education college where so much of the field work is now being done. I am well aware of the efforts made by you and your associates in the courses you ran at Loughborough College, Brunel and Jordanhill.
