Kelly de Stadler

Dr. Kelly de Stadler is a Foundation Year 2 doctor currently based in Bath at the Royal United Hospital. Whilst at Imperial College London, her passion for orthopaedics took off during her third year after attending the LUOS conference and has only grown since. She’s been involved with the British Orthopaedic Medical Students’ Association (BOMSA) since it was founded and has attended plenty of orthopaedic conferences and workshops as well as getting involved with many teaching opportunities.

Recently, Kelly decided to shift to a less-than-full-time role, giving her more flexibility to build her portfolio, teach, and focus on her personal growth. She’s passionate about orthopaedics and loves sharing that enthusiasm with students who are just as curious about the field. She is especially interested in paediatric orthopaedics as a subspecialty due to its rewarding and interesting work as well as broad scope of practice.

When she’s not working, Kelly enjoys staying active, spending time with friends and family, and mainly traveling whenever and wherever she can. Her most recent travels were to Africa for a month at the end of her FY1 as the first time returning since she moved from South Africa in 2011 and is considering an F3 year here!
