The Foundations of Fracture Fixation course is a hybrid, simulation-based programme designed to equip junior doctors with a solid grounding in the principles and practical application of fracture fixation. The course bridges the gap between undergraduate orthopaedic knowledge and safe participation in the operating theatre, focusing on core fixation concepts through structured teaching and hands-on workshops using sawbone models and orthopaedic instrumentation.

The meeting will cover the scope of modern arthroplasty practice including management to delay or avoid arthroplasty, efficiency and ambulatory surgery, customisation, computer-aided planning and navigated surgery, challenges educating the next generation of surgeon, emerging technology in infection prevention and treatment, and reconstruction of challenging defects at revision. Break-out sessions will give the opportunity for subspecialist groups to discuss issues particular to their interest and our industry partners will share their latest innovations.

The British Association of Day Surgery are pleased to announce this virtual conference focusing on Day Case Total Hip Replacements The number of patients waiting for orthopaedic surgery remains at record levels, more than 850,000 in January 2025 following the huge disruption caused by Covid-19 and the industrial action with the NHS. In response to the Governments Elective Recovery Plan and Get It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme, it is clear we must work differently to reduce variation and respond to these unprecedented waits. With continued pressure on in-patient beds, Day Case Total Hip Replacement Surgery presents an ideal opportunity to explore and expand the possibilities to increase day surgery activity. Increasing the delivery of day case across the NHS is achievable and it is important to share learning so that day case becomes the normal in units across the UK. This one day virtual conference will highlight key aspects of the Day Case Total Hip Replacement surgery, the importance of the multidisciplinary team, regional anaesthesia and using data in delivering successful Day Case Total Hip Replacement surgery. You will hear from several exemplar units from around the whole of the UK.

Delivering exceptional care to athletes requires seamless collaboration across the multidisciplinary team. This one-day meeting brings together leading experts in sports medicine, orthopaedic surgery, physiotherapy, radiology, cardiology and performance medicine to share contemporary approaches to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries. Through a combination of evidence-based lectures and case-led discussions, the programme examines the clinical reasoning underpinning complex decision-making, from injury assessment and operative management to rehabilitation, return-to-play and performance optimisation. By exploring common sporting conditions from multiple specialist perspectives, delegates will gain practical, clinically relevant insights while highlighting how multidisciplinary practice and technological innovation continue to advance athlete care. This meeting is intended for consultants and specialist physicians in sports medicine, orthopaedics, cardiology and related disciplines, alongside physiotherapists, musculoskeletal radiologists, sports scientists and performance staff involved in athlete care. It will also be relevant to team clinicians working in elite and semi-elite sport, strength and conditioning coaches, rehabilitation specialists, and trainees including registrars and fellows.
