Mr Rory Cuthbert
Mr Rory Cuthbert is an ST8 trauma and orthopaedic surgery registrar on the Percivall Pott Rotation currently based at Royal London Hospital. He has a subspecialty interest in upper limb surgery and major trauma. He is interested in research (with more than 40 peer-reviewed publications) and clinical leadership having recently graduated with distinction from the Harvard Medical School Surgical Leadership Program.
Mr Cuthbert will complete a one-year clinical fellowship at the Sydney Shoulder Research Institute based at Royal North Shore Hospital – a tertiary elective centre and major trauma centre with a primary referral area accommodating 5.7% of the Australian population. The fellowship will offer advanced clinical exposure to high-energy upper limb injury with a subspecialty elective focus on shoulder / elbow reconstruction and replacement. Current faculty are internationally renowned experts who serve as members of prosthetic design teams and have pioneered novel surgical techniques for rotator cuff pathology.
Commenting on his win, he said: “I am honoured to receive the Ellison-Cliffe Travelling Fellowship. Spending a year working at an international centre of excellence for shoulder and elbow surgery will enable me to provide the most up-to-date and effective care for patients on my return to the United Kingdom. Further, the unit’s world class research facilities offer the exciting opportunity to contribute towards meaningful orthopaedic research with a real-world impact.”
