Mr. Paul Haslam's Reflective Orthopaedic Journey in November 2023
I think Its fair to say I’ve had a fairly hectic few months!
In early September I was fortunate enough to be involved as faculty on the knee day, for the first Sheffield Paediatric Masterclass.
I really enjoyed the interactive discussion with faculty and delegates from all over the UK and the rest of the world on topics including all epiphyseal ACL reconstruction, OATS and Root and Ramp Meniscal tears.
Later in September, I attended The British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) and gave a talk on Meniscal Root/Ramp tears in the BOSTAA session.
In October I then nipped off to Abu Dhabi to visit my colleagues at Tarmeem Orthopaedic Hospital.
In November I attended the Warwick Knee meeting in Birmingham, visited Copenhagen for a football match and just made it back in time for the BOSTAA annual conference at Lords Cricket Ground.
The following week, along with my colleagues Mr Nicolaou, Mr Ali and Mr Symons I launched the first ever Paediatric Knee Cadaveric Course at the Arthrex Lab in Birmingham. It was a great course, well received and hopefully the first of many!
A big thanks to all my colleagues for their help with all of the above!
