Joint Action: The Orthopaedic Research Appeal of the BOA

About us

Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery is a highly cost effective form of treatment which aims to restore pain free mobility for patients. By restoring mobility, Trauma and Orthopaedic surgery can not only help people stay active for longer, but deliver major economic savings - enabling people to return to work, or live more independently.

Given the growing musculoskeletal disease burden, and the transformative impact surgery can have for the right patients, we believe surgeons, commissioners and colleagues across the NHS should work together to increase surgical capacity.

Through Joint Action, the orthopaedic research appeal of the BOA, we help patients by raising funds for and promoting research into musculoskeletal disorders and to improve orthopaedic treatment, restoring mobility and giving people back their freedom and independence.
