About
The 8th Annual National Undergraduate Edinburgh Trauma and Orthopaedics Conference will take place on Saturday January 23rd 2021.
This event aims to facilitate an innovative environment where leading experts in the field of trauma and orthopaedics can inspire and educate future generations of orthopaedic surgeons. This conference will allow students to converse with like-minded aspiring surgeons and present their exciting, novel research to an audience of peers and experts.
In the morning, students will be addressed by two prominent consultants, Mr Freidric Picard and Ms Chloe Scott, who will discuss the role of robotics in orthopaedics, as well as innovative developments in trauma surgery. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with Mr Andrew Hall, a surgical registrar, as he offers guidance on progressing from medical school to surgical training.
Delegates are invited to submit abstracts to the society’s research poster and podium competition.
There will be a series of case based discussions based on how to assess and prioritise mass casualty situations, as well as scenarios appropriate to an A&E setting. This will enable delegates to discuss the appropriate method of prioritising patients based on apparent injuries and neurovascular status.
