Here we introduce you to Stephen Chew from the medical team at the Sainsbury's 2012 School Games who will be on site making sure everyone is safe and cared for during the Games.

SG: What is your role within the Sainsbury's 2012 School Games?
SC: I am the Deputy Chief Medical Officer.

SG: Tell us more about what you will be doing during the Sainsbury's 2012 School Games?
SC: I currently work with Dr Luis Mendia (Chief Medical Officer) and Saskia Blair (Chief Physiotherapist) on the preparation for the Games. We have been working on the planning for the last five months. This year we are dealing with venues that have had similar planning in terms of the scale and type of event as some are Olympic venues. At present, you'll be pleased to hear, we're well on schedule to provide for a great School Games!

SG: What about during the competition, what will the medical team be looking after there?
SC: During the Games themselves, for the first three days prior to the welcome event we will be helping check venues, ensuring venue medical areas are set up within appropriate places to enable the athletes to perform to their best during the competition. We will be setting up the medical hub for the evening clinics too. From the start of the games I will be covering the athletics training venue as well as on call during the nights as Luis' Deputy. Come Wednesday I will be involved in a troubleshooting executive role for the three Olympic Venues, so look out for me racing around in a golf buggy! It's hugely exciting and a big challenge, but one we've risk assessed and prepared for, so ultimately we can help the athletes perform to their optimum.

SG: How many people will be working in your team through the Games?
SC: We have a team of over 45 medical staff to cover all 12 sports. This consists of physiotherapists and doctors with additional paramedics and emergency medical staff. They all come with a wide range of experience and backgrounds. However they are all similar in that they have excellent experience in covering sport events. Some are primarily employed by the medical division of the organising team, whilst at least 16 physiotherapists are sent by their National Governing Bodies to cover their respective sports.

SG: Which element of the Sainsbury's 2012 School Games are you most looking forward to?
SC: It is going to be an inspiration and privilege to work at the Olympic Venues. I have no doubt all the athletes competing feel the same too!

SG: Do you have a message for any young people to stay safe at the Games this year?
SC: With any multi-sport event, the logistics around the venues can be tricky so make sure you keep in sight of your team manager or inform them of where you are . It will be great experience for your future sporting career to attend and compete in a multi-sport event.
