Programme 

The BOTA programme brings together an exciting mix of expert-led talks, interactive workshops and practical sessions designed to support trainees at every stage of their orthopaedic career.

The programme will also provide the latest updates on orthopaedic training, host the BOTA AGM, and tackle some of the profession's most topical issues, including sustainable healthcare, artificial intelligence, and the evolving relationship between surgery, ethics and the law. This year's programme offers an outstanding opportunity to learn from experts, develop new skills, connect with peers and gain insights that will shape the future of your career in orthopaedics.

Delegates can also look forward to a comprehensive programme delivered in collaboration with leading specialty societies, including BASK, BHS, BLRS, BOFAS, BSCOS, BSSH and OTS. High-yield educational sessions will be complemented by practical training in essential non-technical skills, with last year's hugely popular Leadership Course now expanded into the main congress programme.
