IJF rehabilitation centres to reopen in conjunction with racing's return
Oaksey House in Lambourn, Jack Berry House in Malton and Peter O'Sullevan House in Newmarket will reopen on Monday to support the return of racing in Britain.
For anyone requiringrehabilitation, the centres will offer an initial remote assessment and, in most cases, remote support. If clinical intervention is required, it will adhere to strict government guidelines.
Jockey coaching for professional jockeys only will be available via the three rehabilitation centres and will also comply with strict health and safety guidelines.
Lisa Hancock, CEO of the Injured Jockeys Fund, said: "As racing reemerges, we've got to work in new ways and I hope the centres reopening, albeit in a different way, will be able to offer the vital help and support that is always needed by jockeys and our beneficiaries."
Anyone requiring help in either of these areas should initially contact the individual centres between 9am and 1pm on weekdays. The gyms at all three centres remain closed.
