AOUK&I Advanced Course

We have explored many different options to bring the AOUK&I Advanced Course to you. We are mindful that we haven’t run since June 2019, but since the start of COVID we have focused on getting 240 participants through the Basic Principles course.
Our next priority is the Advanced Principles. We have looked at different possibilities indeed, Hinkley and Dublin, but the availability of the practical kit is under particular pressure with the deferred courses all around the world. We think the best option will be to run a larger course in Leeds 2022. It would be helpful to estimate the numbers required, so if you are interested, please let us know as soon as possible so we can notify you when the course opens. You can do this by contacting Lydia Raif
We are so sorry to have had to defer the Advanced course, but we will make every effort to catch up with the shortfall of places over the last two years.

AOUK&I paediatric course

AO faculty have already begin preparing the AOUK&I paediatric course with overseas faculty colleagues.
The Chairs were keen to bring the content in line with current principles required by the trauma and orthopaedic surgeon caring for children as part of their practice. They also want to integrate new educational techniques to increase the impact and the enjoyment of the programme. Some elements will be provided on line to help participates prepare the foundations themselves so the entire face to face event can be interactive.
Just in case we are still restrained by regulations, the programme can be delivered entirely online. Here you can see faculty experimenting with ways of creating the networks and making connections, which are a valued part of our courses.
AOUK Research Funding Expansion for 2020

AOUK Research Funding Expansion for 2020
AOUK Research and Professional Development are delighted to enable broader access to small grant funding for local and national research projects. Following the turbulence experienced through the strain of the pandemic we are keen to support research infrastructure through diverse funding of projects linked to fracture care.
We are particularly interested in funding projects this year that encourage trainee investigators and that support local research departments in recognition of all the effort made by research teams in supporting clinical care throughout the ongoing pandemic period.
