The SST University Forum brought together representatives from across our accredited higher education network for a day of collaboration and shared ambition for the future of sports therapy education. 🎓
With colleagues representing 47 SST accredited programmes, the Forum provided an opportunity to celebrate the collective strength of SST accreditation while providing a platform to discuss significant developments, share updates and new policies, and explore the future direction of both education and professional practice.
What stood out most was the atmosphere. 🤝 The conversations extended far beyond formal presentations, reflecting a growing sense of connection, trust and shared purpose across our university network.
Three years ago, we set out to rebuild and reinvigorate the Forum as a place where educators could genuinely influence, challenge and shape the work of their professional body. Seeing colleagues actively engaged, contributing ideas and helping drive future developments was a powerful reminder of what partnership can achieve.
Thank you to all who joined us. The future of sports therapy education is being shaped through collaboration, and we are proud to be leading those conversations. 🌱

“Three years ago we restarted the Forum. This year, it felt less like an event and more like a community. The enthusiasm of our accredited university partners was infectious. The conversations were challenging, constructive and ambitious, exactly as they should be. For us, the value of the Forum is simple: we listen, we respond, and we act. It helps ensure that we’re not just representing universities, educators and students, but actively advocating for them and delivering meaningful change. Looking around the room yesterday, there was a genuine sense of momentum and shared purpose. That’s what happens when a professional body and its educational partners come together, not just to discuss the future of the profession, but to build it.”
