British Orthopaedic Association

About British Orthopaedic Association

The British Orthopaedic Association funds research, training, and professional development in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, with a clear emphasis on improving patient mobility through better evidence and specialist skills. Its support is typically aimed at UK and Republic of Ireland clinicians, medical students, and orthopaedic trainees, with a mix of fellowships, bursaries, prizes, and travel awards. It also backs orthopaedic research infrastructure and priority-setting work, especially where it can strengthen clinical trials and identify the most important unanswered questions in musculoskeletal care.
