Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise. Although most sports teams have employed team physicians for many years,it is only since the late 20th century that sports medicine emerged as a distinct field of health care. In some countries,sports medicine is a recognized medical specialty. In the majority of countries where sports medicine is recognized and practiced,it is a physician (non-surgical) specialty,but in some,it can equally be a surgical or non-surgical medical specialty,and also a specialty field within primary care. In other contexts,the field of sports medicine encompasses the scope of both medical specialists as well as allied health practitioners who work in the field of sport,such as physiotherapists,athletic trainers,podiatrists and exercise physiologists.

Bangour General Hospital was a hospital just west of the village of Dechmont,West Lothian,Scotland. It had its origins during the Second World War when hospital bed numbers in Scotland were greatly expanded to deal with the anticipated increase in civilian and military war casualties. The Emergency Hospital Service (Scotland) scheme resulted in seven new hospitals being built,while at Bangour Village Hospital in West Lothian an annexe of five ward blocks was built and this developed into Bangour General Hospital after the war. This hospital served the population of West Lothian as a general hospital and also included a maxillo-facial unit serving the Lothian region and a burns and plastic surgery unit serving much of east Scotland,the Borders and the Highland region. The hospital services were transferred to the newly built St John's Hospital at Livingston during 1989–90,and Bangour General Hospital closed in 1990 and was subsequently demolished.
