Description:

Orthopaedic surgery is the 'nuts & bolts' speciality; it is as much a biomechanical science as it is a surgical craft. In orthopaedics, the mode of treatment and the choice of implants are just as important as the skill to operate precisely to reach a specific anatomical landmark. The traditional view has been that only the advance trainees in orthopaedics require a good grasp of biomechanics. However, the understanding and application of biomechanics in orthopaedics has expanded exponentially in the recent times, and this plays a much greater role in modern orthopaedic treatments. Accordingly, there have emerged a number of core principles in orthopaedic biomechanics. It is important now that the junior trainees in orthopaedics have an appreciation of the basic biomechanics in orthopaedics in order to flourish in this surgical specialty.

Description:

The Training Orthopaedic Trainers programme has been established to improve the standard of teaching for those in trauma and orthopaedic (T&O) training and practice. The underlying premise is that if T&O trainers understand how people learn and how the T&O curriculum works, by translating that understanding into action, they should improve their teaching.

An established T&O surgical trainer and our educational advisor, Lisa Hadfield-Law, facilitate each course. Over the last 15 years, Lisa has trained over 4000 T&O surgeons to teach, from 57 countries within Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific.

History
The inaugural SICOT Trainees Meeting was held in the UK in 1992. Members of SICOT in the UK decided to organise the SICOT Trainee’s Meeting in London in 2014. The last meeting was held in Moscow, Russia. However, this will be first time that SICOT has gained formal accreditation from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. We are able to offer up to 12 CPD points for attending our conference covering all aspects of orthopaedics and our 4 workshops by renowned companies. All for just starting from £80! We will also be hosting a conference dinner for those interested in networking.

Purpose
1. To encourage trainees from around the world to meet together in London.
2. To exchange orthopaedic information and knowledge.
3. To foster relations with a renowned institution for academia and research
4. To offer the most number of fellowships than any other comparable organisation

Speakers and Invitations
International experts have been summoned to deliver lectures and workshops unlike any other conference before:
• Prof Cody Bunger: Spinal surgical approaches
• Prof Gareth Scott: Advancement and tips of lower limb arthroplasties
• Mr. Manoj Ramachandran: Paediatric Orthopaedics
• Mr. Peter Bates: Pelvic and Major Trauma
• Mr. Sebastian Dawson-Bowling: Biomechanics
And many more!

Workshops
We are providing the most popular 90-minute workshops on principles of external fixation, arthroplasties and semi-extended tibial intramedullary nailing through our programme sponsors including Heraeus, Neoligaments, Adler Ortho, Orthofix, Stryker and Smith & Nephew.
