LASEM Happy Hour – the first in a series of expert webinars

On Thursday April 9 2020, we had the pleasure of sharing a drink with tendon expert Professor Jill Cook, at LASEM’s first ever Happy Hour Webinar.

Join Jill as she speaks about tendon treatments to avoid, tendon loading, differential diagnoses and how we can do better!

Hosted by Dr Sean Docking with further expertise thrown in by our resident pain-expert Dr Ebonie Rio.

Join us for the next LASEM Happy Hour when knee expert Dr Christian Barton answers your burning questions over a morning coffee. Register here for Christian’s session on Wednesday April 29 at 10am.
