Complex cases and real-life scenarios are addressed in concise, actionable presentations and discussions. A must-attend event for specialists and training grade surgeons involved in the delivery of emergency general surgery and trauma care. Topics discussed will serve as invaluable preparation for higher surgical examinations such as MRCS, FRCS and FEBS (general surgery).

This 3-day course will cover most of the core curriculum for the foot and ankle. Lectures aim to provide delegates with a core understanding of the management of common foot and ankle problems and topics include biomechanics and gait, the evaluation and treatment of forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot pain, the role of orthotics and what to prescribe.

This meeting will provide lectures and hands-on training for the majority of the soft tissue knee injuries, with cadaveric specimens. A strong faculty consisting of expert surgeons working in RJAH Knee firm will stimulate discussion and teach the delegates in an anatomy lab environment.

Hands-on training course, teaching the strategies and skills needed to manage severely injured patients with life-threatening musculoskeletal injuries, often in challenging and time-critical circumstances.

Following the success of the conference over the last two years, we are delighted to announce that the 2024 AI in Orthopaedics and MSK event will take place on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th December 2024 at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London. This year’s event will be held over two days and will follow a similar format to the previous meetings with instructional sessions. New this year will be more opportunity for break out meetings and discussion groups / networking.

This course is an intensive two day hands on practical cadaveric workshop for surgeons, military or civilians who are relatively inexperienced in trauma but may be required to perform surgery on patients suffering traumatic injuries under pressure in a trauma and emergency environment.

This flagship 6-day course covers all the topics required for the basic science examination. It is for orthopaedic trainees who are seeking a strong foundation in basic orthopaedic sciences and for those trainees who will be preparing for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) examinations. Faculty are from Oswestry and other nationally-recognised orthopaedic centres and delegates attend from all over the world.

This course provides an in-depth understanding of interpreting normal and pathological radiographic findings in orthopaedic cases, covering both adult and paediatric patients. Participants will learn how to correlate imaging with clinical decision-making, enhancing their skills in musculoskeletal radiology.
