Time passes so quickly. It is now less than two years before we gather in Glasgow in September 2010 for the 12th Combined Meeting of the Orthopaedic Associations. Since I last wrote forward for the website a lot has taken place and the planning is now well advanced.
We have a working platform for the scientific programmes. There will be four main components to the daily programme. Each morning there will be up to five concurrent instructional courses run by the specialist societies involving surgeons from all our associations. These courses will be designed for CPD for our membership but will include courses on how we train, the assessment of trainees and communications skills for orthopaedic surgeons.
Each association will present an eponymous lecture. The speakers will be announced as soon as the names are available; for example, Stuart Weinstein will be speakig for the American Orthopaedic Association. These will be keynote lectures of interest to all orthopaedic surgeons.
There will be a number of symposia and debates each day to discuss the many aspects of orthopaedic surgery which will affect us all. The topics decided on so far include venous thromboembolism, fragility fractures, the place of joint registries, orthopaedics in the developing world. There will be international involvement in these symposia as we discuss where we are now and what the future holds. As the faculties finalise, details will be placed on the website.
The afternoon will be available for free papers. Please do not hesitate to submit a paper for the meeting; the first call for papers was issued in June 2009. We plan to ensure that the instructional sessions, symposia and papers relating to specific specialist areas of orthopaedics will be all on the same day, to provide a coherent theme. During the free paper session there will be a guest lecturer on the pressing issues related to the theme. Some of these may be eponymous, as for example from the BOA side the Charnley Lecture on a hip topic, the Naughton Dunn Lecture on foot and ankle and the Adrian Henry Lecture on knees.
I can confirm that the Howard Steel Lecture will be given by Bill Bryson who is well known to you as an author who has travelled to, and commented on, all our countries but you may not know that he is also Chairman for the Committee for the Preservation of Rural England. We look forward to his talk. We also have an acceptance from former NHS Chief Executive Lord Crisp to talk at our meeting regarding the place of orthopaedics in the developing world and Lars Lidgren has agreed to give us an update on the Bone and Joint Decade in its final months.
The social programme is well advanced, planning tours for delegates and accompanying persons to Edinburgh, local castles, whisky tasting, or visits to the beautiful Scottish countryside. We have made arrangements for golf at Gleneagles and also closer to home at Western Gailes. The Gala Dinner will be held in the recently refurbished Kelvingrove Museum, one of the premier museums in the United Kingdom; it will have a distinctly Scottish flavour, with an Address to the Haggis (with translation for the non-Scots!), and a ceilidh after the meal. The conference organisers are planning pre-conference tours and these will be announced on the website in the near future.
Lots is going on to make this an enjoyable meeting; we plan to have good science, good education and good CPD opportunities for all, so please place the date in your diary and arrange to meet in Glasgow. It will be a great opportunity to catch up with old friends. |
