Sustainable Surgery Fellowship

What is the post?

This one-year post (in programme) commencing in March 2023 will be in addition to the fellow’s normal clinical duties. The aim of the role will be to support the development of sustainable surgery in orthopaedics (and joint arthroplasty in particular) and facilitate its expansion. Through these activities the fellow will develop skills in diverse areas including programme management, data analysis and report preparation and develop a network of key contacts in sustainable surgery in the UK. The fellow will inform and work with the BOA/NJR on sustainable surgery and contribute to, and lead key projects.

• Projects might include work on:
  • Establishing the carbon foot print of an arthroplasty case in theatre
  • Discerning more sustainable ways of delivering outpatient care /prehab and rehab
  • Or any other ideas that you may have and that are acceptable to the appointment panel and supervisors (if your application is successful)
• The Fellow will be supervised by the BOA President and a member of the NJR
• The project will be presented at the BOA Annual Congress in September 2023
