Patient Liaison Group

Remit
The Council of the British Orthopaedic Association considered it valuable to have the advice and input from patients when the BOA is planning orthopaedic care, guidelines and responding to changes in healthcare systems, including training and education. Therefore in March 2004 a Patient Liaison Group was formed, comprising orthopaedic surgeons and lay members. Following open advertisement in national newspapers, lay members were appointed to the Patient Liaison Group, together with three orthopaedic surgeons. The group meets at regular intervals with a Lay Chairman, who now attends Council meetings as an ex officio member.
