Dr Will Stockley was also the 2025 Dr Geoff Thompson Rural Scholarship Recipient (left) having grown up in Nhulunbuy Gove NT ➡️ attended medical school at and more recently ➡️ worked as a resident doctor at … 🏝️ so it’s fitting he will be an trainee Registrar in Cairns in 2026. 🙌🏻🌏

Welcome to the Sports Medicine family, Dr Will! See you at FNQ Sports Medicine & Cairns Hospital in 2026 🙌🏻

ACSEP Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians
Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service

“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but it’s a fantastic Conference and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve felt very welcomed, coming from a rural place and not knowing anyone, apart from my two great bosses up in Cairns, and two Registrars that I’d met previously.

“The opportunity to present was also fantastic. I talked a little about the rural and remote work that we’re doing up in Far North Queensland and a little about my previous work up in the Torres Strait, and thinking about how we can implement Sports Medicine in the remote settings.”

- William Stockley, 2025 Dr Geoff Thompson Rural Scholarship Recipient.

It’s been terrific to have three of our 2025 Scholarship Recipients are here with us on the Gold Coast, experiencing the Registrars Conference, as well as the Annual ACSEP Scientific Conference and engaging with the College community.

Upskilling at - just casually injecting some hormones (water) to my free-range chicken 🍗💉🩸👩🏼‍⚕️😂

Jokes! But yes, learning and practicing ultrasound guided injection techniques to add to the skill set for our patients. Handy to do at the time of consult for answers and then hopefully, immediate (or at least quick) benefits to get you back doing what you need to do 💪🏻
