About this event

  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Orthopaedics

Join the thirteenth edition of Future Orthopaedic Surgeons Conference (FOSC), the international Trauma and Orthopaedic surgery conference, for a full day of learning with academic lectures covering four key topics, poster presentations, and cutting-edge practical workshops focused on the latest updates on orthopaedic training aimed at junior doctors and medical students. Predominantly an in-person event, virtual participants will be welcomed for the morning talks. 

In the morning, the academic lectures will consist of short presentations covering four main topics: Orthopaedic subspecialties and what they involve, diversity in orthopaedics, career options in orthopaedics and application pathways, including CV tips. These talks aim to promote speciality to an inclusive range of junior doctors and trainees whilst providing valuable insight into what a career in orthopaedics can entail. The talks will be followed by a lunch, during which applicants for the Orthopaedics Section FOSC Prize for Research will present their research works via poster and a panel of experts will review and critically appraise each project. 

In the afternoon, a circuit of small-group practical workshops will focus on the core skills required as an orthopaedic surgeon: Intramedullary nailing, dynamic hip screw, open-reduction internal fixation and external fixation. These workshops will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to get hands-on experience and guidance on different surgical techniques. Please note that the afternoon workshops will not be available to watch for virtual participants.

This new edition of FOSC will:

  • Increase awareness of the different orthopaedic subspecialties
  • Tackle the changing face of orthopaedics and promote diversity among trainees applying for core and speciality training
  • Discover the range of careers paths available to orthopaedic surgeons including portfolio careers and academic orthopaedics
  • Improve the understanding of core and speciality training selection pathways and how to improve one’s CV to increase the chances of a successful job application
  • Develop the presentation and critical appraisal skills of participants
