Who we work with
Who we work with
The EIS supports athletes from more than 50 sports including Olympic, Paralympic, Sport England funded and professional sports.
When considering Olympic and Paralympic sports, the EIS is the supplier of choice for the provision of sports science and medical support services. Individual sports are allocated funding through the UK Sport World Class Pathway, an element of which is set aside for sport science and medical service provision.
The EIS supports nearly 1,600 elite athletes who are currently on the UK Sport World Class Pathway programme representing Summer Olympic, Summer Paralympic and Winter Olympic sports. In addition, we also provide support to a number of elite athletes representing Sport England funded sports such as squash, rugby, golf, cricket and women's football.
We also provide medical service provision to a number of young talented athletes on the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS).
The majority of the athletes we support receive funding for sports science and medical support through their National Governing Body (NGB). The NGB and EIS representatives then work collaboratively to agree a support package that is appropriate to that team and/or individual. The support package may encompass all or some services offered by the EIS.
