Hi There,
I have worked in the Orthopaedic industry for over 25 years.
I am thrilled to become a member of Orthopaedic Diversity and can’t wait to discuss ways I can help.

Regards,

Matt

Co-founder of the British Orthopaedic Medical Students -Association

I am working in ortopedi about 10 år

University of Edinburgh medical graduate, currently doing senior residency training in orthopaedics at the University of Helsinki after completing my Finnish core surgical training at Vaasa Central Hospital, a bilingual (Finnish and Swedish) DGH-type hospital on the west coast of Finland

Orthopaedic trainee

I am an Orthopedic consultant in Switzerland particularly interested in Foot and Ankle Surgery.

Hi there,
I am a resident working in the Netherlands and I am part of a new committee of the Netherlands Orthopaedic Association (NOV) and we are currently drawing an approach to improve equity, diversion and inclusion within our clinical profession. I hope to learn from this community

I am a final year Orthopaedic Trainee with a specialist interest in Hand Surgery. I became interested in diversity from a personal perspective following the birth of my first child and struggling with post-natal depression and have been working with the British Orthopaedic Assocaition on their diversity strategy. My other interests include SUP, camping, cycling, arts, crafts and cooking - in another life I could be a home-maker!!

Keen interest in orthopaedics, leadership, diversity and inclusion in surgery.

I am an orthopaedic registrar working in Sheffield.

I am a biomedical scientist and a final year Medic in the university of Buckingham with a career interest in Orthopaedic surgery.

I am a dedicated medical student with a strong passion for orthopedic surgery and academia. My ambition is to pursue an academic training route in orthopedic surgery, where I can combine my clinical interests with research. I am eager to find research opportunities and contribute in any way possible.

With a solid foundation in statistical methods and the application of epidemiology, I am particularly interested in applying this knowledge to orthopedic surgery. Additionally, I have lab work experience in chondrocyte research and non-coding RNA strands, which further enhances my understanding of the field. I look forward to bringing my skills and enthusiasm to a dynamic and collaborative environment.

I am an enthusiastic and driven movement scientist. From 2004 I focus my research on orthopedics. After a PhD trajectory on the clinical and technical aspects of total knee replacement, I developed to senior researcher and head of the research unit for orthopedics, anesthesiology and radiology. As research lead for Orthopedic Innovations, I now initiate innovative research on fixation methods (RSA), function, and kinematics of primary and revision total knee replacements, as well as diagnostics of PJIs of hips, knees and shoulder implants. I supervise several colleague researchers and orthopedic residents in their (PhD) research and am active in the education (research methodology and statistics) of young orthopedic surgeons in the hospital. I am a board member of the International RSA society and the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty.

Foundation Doctor based in Isle of Wight

As Business Unit Manager for Stryker's UK & Ireland Trauma team and UK & Nordics Lead for Stryker's Women's Network, I am keen to see how clinicians and industry can come together to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in orthopaedics
