Event Calendar

BOA Annual Congress 2025

This important and timely conference will focus on improving care for hip fracture patients – learning from the September 2025 NHFD findings, and improving progress against the Key Performance Indicators and NICE quality standard for hip fracture. Through national updates and practical case studies the conference will highlight best practice in hip fracture care, improving the care pathway, patient experience and outcomes. This conference will focus on improving assessment, minimised delays to theatre, improving the pathway from falls to theatre, changing the role of the emergency department, ensuring hip fracture patients are prioritised for surgery, improve patient experience of hip fracture care, overcome contraindications, improving the anaesthetic and surgical pathway, and ensuring prompt mobilisation after surgery.

This event is intended for clinicians and healthcare professionals working with older people who have undergone a fall, or are at risk of falling. Building upon the past conferences in Malaysia and Australia, the two days will include keynote presentations from experts in the field, workshops and plenary sessions demonstrating best practice approaches available. We hope you will make contacts and start collaborations which will continue on from this meeting.

Providing education and masterclass on tendon transfer

Precision Meets Intelligence: Transforming Healthcare with AI and Personalized Medicine

A masterclass in Femoral Fragility Trauma is an opportunity for knowledge exchange on surgical techniques, optimisation of frail patients, perioperative management, post-op rehab, and secondary prevention. It can also address new guidelines and evidence based data regarding management of post operative complications such as Prosthetic Joint Infection and Periprosthetic Fractures.

In line with this vision, the APKASS 2026 will feature a diverse range of sessions, including joint-specific discussions on Knee, Shoulder, Hip & Pelvis, Foot & Ankle, Wrist & Elbow, and Spine. Attendees can expect in-depth insights into orthopedic research, encompassing arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and sports medicine. The scientific program will include Plenary and Keynote Lectures, ICL Sessions, Free Paper Presentations, and Poster Exhibitions, providing plentiful opportunities for knowledge exchange. This year marks our inaugural Live Surgery Symposium, and we will also hold combined sessions with international organizations such as ISAKOS, SLARD, ASSOM, ESSKA, AFSM, and ICRS facilitating collaboration with global experts.
