MISSION STATEMENT

Our Website

The aim of the Postgraduate Orthopaedics website is to provide the knowledge foundations to support the T&O curriculum for the UK and Ireland.  The curriculum is designed to ensure that all orthopaedic trainees are trained in the generality of T&O, with an opportunity to develop a specialty interest in the later years of training and post-CCT with the single aim of ensuring that all CCT holders are able to manage T&O patients from the day they are appointed as fully trained consultant surgeons.  Although our books do tend to focus on the FRCS (Tr&Orth) exam it is only PART of that curriculum and examination results only measure a limited area of intellectual competency.

We aim to provide SBAs and CBD type questions at the end of each topic. This is to apply higher order thinking and judgement to the previously read through material. This is to reinforce material that can sometimes be passively read without being critically analysed or appreciated. We want to avoid rote factual learning of orthopaedic topics without really understanding the topic. This is particularly true of applied basic sciences which must be understood so as to provide a firm foundation with clinical practice.

It is important to emphasize that although many websites may replicate bullet revision type note they may not be specific for the T+O syllabus and be UK based. We will be applying higher order thinking and evaluation skills to the included material that will make the e learning platform uniquely different to any existing website. 

We want to avoid providing material that is already repeated somewhere else and do not want to produce an on line encyclopedia nor do we want to replicate the many orthopaedic textbooks already out on the market. The website will be interactive with video and web casts, revision notes, case studies and ask the expert reviews.

This website also aims to provide additional guidance to overseas candidates who wish to become more familiar with the T+O curriculum for the purposes of sitting the International Fellowship Examination. This examination has a parity of standard with the existing UK/Ireland Intercollegiate Fellowship Examinations and is assess to this same standard. A different curriculum, differing strengths and limitations of their own training programme, different clinical exposure and different local healthcare needs.  may mean that an overseas candidate may finds preparing for this qualification more difficult than a UK based trainee.

Finally, it is hoped by motivating and inspiring the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons to study and learn well this will ultimately result in improve patient care and outcomes.

it was a very good review Course . sometimes it feels too much to gather so much of information in such short time, but we don't have a choice. some of the lectures were very monotonous and too much of detailed information , which is definitely difficult to remember. it would be worth while to give some important key information in each topic which we can remember easily. most of us would have read and we will be looking for those buzz words to remember. It is better to re emphasize such words and concepts, which happened in most of the talks. It was a very well organized course and kudos to all the organizing team thank you very much regards R Pawar

Seventh Postgraduate Orthopaedics FRCS (Tr&Ortho) Revision Course January 2020

This was an excellent course covering a huge amount of the syllabus with a good mix of lectures, vivas and clinical. The vivas and clinical sessions were very well organised and everyone had a good go at all. It was appropriate for all levels. The vivas were also good for pre-part 1. I thought the course was very well organised and the organisers thought of everything - spare pens/books etc. It was a bonus doing the MCQs the Sunday and nice that they provided pencil and rubber! The course was very long and tiring but there is no way around this. This was countered by the copious flow of coffee and snacks including fruit. I thought the civic centre was an excellent Venus with really attentive and friendly staff. Overall a really great course that I would recommend to anyone close to their FRCS. Great work!

A great experience before the exam. thanks for all the hard work and that everyone put in to this course.
