British Rowing has announced a new four-year partnership with Circle Reading Hospital to provide medical services and advanced rehabilitation support to British Rowing’s High Performance Programme.
Circle Reading Hospital, part of the Circle Health group, offers patients a wide range of surgical and non-surgical treatments, delivered by some of Berkshire’s leading consultants and expert surgeons alongside modern, high-tech facilities.
Under the guidance of the GB Rowing Team’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ann Redgrave, Circle Reading will provide a range of medical tests and services, direct referral for investigations to enable rapid diagnosis and access to state-of-the-art rehabilitation services. The excellent support of Circle Reading’s consultants and clinicians will enable British Rowing to continue to provide first class healthcare for both athletes and staff.
