"CONNECTING WORLD LEADING MEDICAL AND SCIENCE EXPERTISE WITHIN THE GAME WITH FAN BASES AND GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL"
The FMA Register is a comprehensive resource of medical and science practitioners who have worked in or who are currently working in, professional football with teams or individuals at clubs (top 5 tiers) or national teams. The aims of this register are:
To provide an invaluable directory for colleagues and members at Professional Clubs to source skilled practitioners who have worked at the highest level in various disciplines across football. To provide grassroots football direct access to elite level practitioners who have expertise and experience within the professional game. To ensure the directory will be in the public domain and accordingly to allow individuals to source those practitioners who have worked for their Club and at this elite level. To support member practitioners who are working in private practice and provide them with an opportunity to showcase skills, expertise and experience in elite level football. To provide listed Practitioners the opportunity to submit articles/research papers for publication in our quarterly magazine “Football Medic & Scientist” in order to showcase their expertise within a particular specialism. Marketing:
The register is promoted throughout grassroots football and via supporters groups as well as in the professional game. Registrants must have worked in a professional capacity with players or a club in the top 5 tiers in English football, the top 2 tiers in Scotland or the FA WSL1.

Strict guidelines as to eligibility for register entitlement are already established and each application will be verified on an individual basis. Registrant members will require authorisation before a listing becomes active. All practitioners must be registered with their individual professional registration bodies. All practitioners are invited to become members of the FMA and remain as members for the duration of their listing on the register. This is an industry specific register and is not open to any practitioner. The register will concisely highlight practitioners, their practice and their involvement in professional football.
