The Olympic Medical Institute (OMI) is a specialist national support centre for high performance athletes from both Olympic and non-Olympic sports. At its heart is the national residential rehabilitation centre, providing intensive treatment for athletes recovering from serious injury.
Conceived as a partnership between the British Olympic Association and the English Institute of Sport and evolving from the British Olympic Medical Centre in 2003, the OMI offers world class care to athletes in the form of residential rehabilitation, out-patient sports medicine and physiotherapy services, squad-based sports physiology and cutting edge research developments.
The OMI’s highly experienced multi-disciplinary team provides both short-term and on-going support to athletes from a wide range of sports, offering an individually tailored package that minimises time lost due to injury and maximises optimal performance and recovery.
The location of the OMI at Northwick Park Hospital means athletes benefit from full clinical back-up on site, representing the only facility of its kind in Britain. The availability of specialist technology such as MR Imaging at the hospital helps to ensure quick diagnosis and effective treatment for the athlete.
The services are provided primarily for athletes on the BOA Passport Scheme or a recognised World Class Programme but are also available to professional sports. There is also a private sports injuries clinic available to other athletes who are serious about their sport. Please contact the Institute on 020 8423 7200 for booking details.
