This internationally renowned annual meeting is aimed at established orthopaedic surgeons with an interest in trauma surgery. The three-day meeting will focus on areas of current interest and controversy, and will consist of instructional lectures, debates, discussion groups, and hands-on practical sessions. The course has been extensively re-designed to include illustrative case based discussions and workshops with world renowned experts. We aim to introduce live cadaveric surgery sessions for surgical approaches and percutaneous surgery.
This popular course provides a complete overview of orthopaedic trauma over a five-day course, including paediatric, adult and fragility fractures, and their management and complications. The course is suitable for established surgeons wishing for a general update, trainees approaching professional examinations in orthopaedics, new trainees requiring an overview of the subject, and senior nurses and physiotherapists. The format of the course includes lectures, small-group discussions and skills-labs.

The premier orthopeadic meeting returns
18th - 19th June 2015, Mermaid Conference Centre, London 2015 promises to be another bumpy year for arthroplasty surgeons across Europe. The industry is under pressure to reduce the cost of devices across the board, while surgeons are having activity and morbidity data made public. So the whole field is less profitable, and bad news is going to make headlines.
It is human nature to pay more attention to bad news than good – a trait that is shared by both patients and journal editors. Surgeons should not ignore the bad news, but need to temper with good news, and there is a lot to be excited about on the technology front.
The Great Debate exists to address that balance, exploring the evidence and debunking dogma where necessary.
