Beth is a trauma consultant at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield. After graduating in 2010, she undertook her surgical and orthopaedic training in the Yorkshire and Humber deanery.
She has completed fellowships in both trauma & limb reconstruction, with particular focus on open fracture management and the Ilizarov method. Her routine clinical practice involves managing complex fractures, non-union, osteomyelitis and deformity correction.
Liz has been a consultant in Hull for more than a decade, her areas of specialism include paediatric and adult limb reconstruction with deformity correction, alongside trauma surgery and knee arthroplasty. It is an academic unit and she contributes to and coauthors research papers and articles, primarily in limb reconstruction.
She has always been keen to challenge the stereotype of the orthopaedic surgeon, and is proud to be asked to bring her hard vowels to conference.
She believes in kindness and professional behaviour, and takes pride in establishing an open, honest and productive working environment
I trained as a young adult hip surgeon, with UK fellowship under Jon Conroy and International fellowship in Denmark under Professor Kjeld Soballe. I was appointed as an Orthopaedic Surgeon in 2014 at Leeds Teaching Hospitals with clinical activity including a purely paediatric trauma on call commitment alongside an elective Paediatric and Adult Hip practice.
I have been clinical lead for Paediatric Orthopaedics in Leeds alongside previous Sector Tutor for Trauma & Orthopaedics in Leeds. I am currently Clinical Director for Leeds Children’s Hospital.
I have been an Associate Specialist in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction at University Hospitals North Midlands since 2016. My practice is predominantly adult trauma, but I also support my paediatric colleagues with trauma and limb reconstruction in children. I did limb reconstruction fellowships at both Bristol Royal Infirmary and Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Clare has been a Paediatric Orthopaedic consultant at the Noah's ark Children's Hospital for Wales in Cardiff, since 2012. There is no greater job satisfaction than the generality of paediatric orthopaedics and trauma, coupled with the reward of treating children. Cardiff has been a major trauma centre for children since September 2020.
She has been actively involved in education since a junior trainee and this has culminated in her appointment as Training Programme Director in August 2023 to the Welsh Deanery. A role which she finds a privilege and energising to constantly be in touch with training and the trainees.
Recently she has become a BSCOS committee member to try and contribute to the Paediatric Orthopaedic community across the UK.

He regularly teaches and assesses for Norwich Medical School. He has organised a number of regional and national educational events in Paediatric Orthopaedics, and has been invited faculty at a number of courses and national meetings.
