Professional sporting teams

He has worked as doctor for the Sydney Swans,[4] Sydney Roosters, NSW State of Origin rugby league team,[5] Sydney Sixers, Cricket NSW and the Australian cricket team.[6]

An incident which led to some infamy was his on-field use of a staple gun to close a head laceration sustained by Michael De Vere during a rugby league State of Origin match .[7][8][9][10]

He also was the doctor on the field who responded to Phillip Hughes when he was felled by a cricket ball during a match in 2014,[11] an injury from which the player later died.

Injury prevention advocacy

Australian Football League

He spent over 20 years as the injury surveillance coordinator for the AFL.[12][13] During this time injury surveillance drove many rules changes in the league [14] including the centre-circle line (which reduced the rate of knee posterior cruciate ligament injuries in ruckmen) [15] and reductions in permitted interchange to prevent muscle strains.[16]

John Orchard (doctor)

National Rugby League

As Sydney Roosters doctor, he was outspoken on the need to ban the shoulder charge tackle in the NRL prior to this occurring.[17]

Cricket

He campaigned for the introduction of substitutes for concussion in cricket [18] and was the doctor at an Australian domestic game when this rule was first used in 2016.[19][20] He was cited as having been a key driver of change when the International Cricket Council introduced Concussion substitutes in 2019.[21][22]

He also had a role in cricket making a boundary rope compulsory after reporting on injuries caused by fence collisions.[23]

Research

He is an academic (Adjunct Professor) at the University of Sydney [24] and has published over 200 research papers with over 10000 citations.[25] He is a co-author on multiple International Olympic Committee consensus expert statements on preventing injuries in sport.[26][27][28][29]

Orchard Sports Injury and Illness Classification System (OSIICS)

John Orchard developed a sports injury classification system in 1993 called OSICS. It has been used by multiple sports in Australia,[30] Europe [31] and the USA.[32] In 2020, it was expanded to include further illness codes and adopted as one of two recommended systems by the International Olympic Committee.
