All about Orthopaedics…
Orthopaedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the care of the musculoskeletal system. This system is made up of muscles, bones and joints, as well as ligaments, and tendons. The study of orthopaedics is truly fascinating and it offers doctors the opportunity to treat patients with conditions that are affecting the muscles and bones, allowing patients to live fuller and more mobile lives.
A person who specialises in orthopaedics is known as an orthopaedist or orthopaedic surgeon. On average an Orthopaedic surgeon does a 5 year degree in medicine (recognised by the General Medical Council), a 2 year foundation programme of general training, 2 years of core surgical training in a hospital and up to 6 years of specialist training.
