Team members were, among other things, part of response teams deployed to support surgical services at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and consulted for the preparations of the Euro 2012 in the Ukraine.

Ensuring the well-being of athletes, delegates, participants and partners is big responsibility for hosts and organisers.
