This Workshop is designed to provide a CPR update with a Sports Medicine flavour. It provides an ideal opportunity for Sports Medicine Clinicians to up skill in a credentialed emergency resuscitation hands on session. It is primarily provided for Doctors, Physiotherapists and Podiatrists who require an annual update for their daily work and is designed to fulfil the requirements for their professional education. So it will be a multidisciplinary team workshop. In March 2006, the Australian Resuscitation Council released their updated guidelines for Basic and Advanced Life Support for Adults, Children and Neonates. Key principles of the new Australian guidelines are:Any resuscitation attempt is better than noneYou should minimise any interruptions to compressionsCompressions should be delivered harder and fasterAvoid over ventilationRescuers should compress the centre of the chest.30:2 ratio (30 compressions to 2 ventilations) for infants, children and adultsEmphasis on early defoliation doi:10.1016/j.jsams.2008.12.002

This workshop is directed to podiatrists and physiotherapists and will involve the sharing of manual techniques commonly used to optimise foot and ankle motion to augment lower limb function. More recalcitrant foot related issues may at times require specific mobilisation to complement taping, orthotic prescription and exercise. The assessment and treatment techniques for a few of the more common presentations will be demonstrated. doi:10.1016/j.jsams.2008.12.003 WORKSHOP 3 Manual therapy treatment of tennis elbow B. Vicenzino The University of Queensland, Australia Tennis elbow is usually seen as a somewhat challenging musculoskeletal condition to treat. There are a number of possible reasons for this perception, such as, (a) there is a dearth of high quality data relative to the many advocated treatments, and (b) its underlying etiology remains to be fully elucidated. The plan of the workshop is to briefly overview the condition in terms of three interrelated components: (i) the local tendon pathology, (ii) changes in the pain system, and (iii) motor
