Bristol Hip Meeting 1 - 2 December 2011

Emergency Surgery Workshop, Davos 10 December 2011

Emergency Surgery during Disaster Relief Activities - Surgery under Critical Environmental Conditions

Background

Recent catastrophes including the Wenchuan earthquake in May 2008, the Haiti Earthquake in January 2010, and the recent earthquake in Japan have caused extremely high numbers in casualties and called for greater attention to be given to the role of medical teams providing emergency surgery. Many of those rescued have life-threatening injuries that require emergency surgery, a great number of which are severe limb injuries.

The international response to these disasters has at times revealed highly questionable practices in the delivery of emergency medical humanitarian assistance, contrasting with a wider move in recent years to improve humanitarian intervention standards. Specific concerns centre on clinical competency, record keeping and follow up steps, but also on accountability, quality control, coordination and reporting.

Outcome Goals

• Appropriate decision making under extreme conditions
• Guidelines for emergency surgery
• Course Modules

CESR in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery - a BOA one day course

The BOA is pleased to announce a second one day course for those considering an application for Specialist Registration with the GMC through the CESR (Article 14) route.

The course is to be convened by Mr David Limb, who is Chairman of the BOA Education Committee. He is also a member of the SAC CESR panel and an Examiner for the FRCS(Tr&Orth), being leader of the written paper committee.

Expert faculty from the following committees will contribute.

• The FRCS(Tr&Orth) Examination Board

• The SAC

• The CESR applications panel of the SAC

• The GMC

The course is intended to provide information on the evidence required by the GMC to support applications for specialist registration via the CESR route. It may therefore help in a decision to apply or not, and will help those who apply to put forward applications of the best quality they can achieve. Unfortunately individual applications cannot be considered and specific feedback on previous applications will be outside the scope of this event.

Closing date for registration: Friday 4 November

Kirschner (K) wire fixation of upper limb fractures - SURVEY

Dear Colleague

  

Kirschner (K) wire fixation of upper limb fractures is a common procedure in all trauma and orthopaedic departments. There appears to be little national consensus with regards use of antibiotic prophylaxis, or how long to leave the wires in situ, and infection rate, in these patients.

This simple survey comprises 8 questions and takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

It will provide a snapshot of current practice amongst BOA members nationally, and stimulate much needed research into this common procedure with little supporting scientific evidence.

I would be most grateful for your time in undertaking this survey.
