The 2013 International Conference for the Health, Safety and Welfare of Jockeys (ICHSWJ) is taking place at Monmouth Park, New Jersey, USA on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th September 2013. For those of you who have not attended before, the conference is organized by the European Medical Officers Group and comes under the auspices of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities. The conference is aimed at administrators, racecourse doctors and anyone involved in licensing of jockeys.
This is the 5th conference; the previous four were held in Japan (2006), Turkey (2008), Dubai (2010) and last year at the same venue, Monmouth Park (2012). The conference focuses on jockey related issues and features presentations from some of the most highly respected medics, administrators, nutritionists and researchers who specialize in dealing with jockeys.
