This course, offered in partnership with the Orthopaedic Academy, is tailored for candidates preparing for the part 2 FRCS (Orth) examinations or equivalent. It focuses entirely on mock viva and clinical stations, providing an opportunity to refine knowledge, practice exam techniques, and resolve any uncertainties with the help of an experienced UK-based faculty. To ensure an optimal learning experience, candidates will be divided into small groups of two participants and will rotate through various workstations. Each workstation will have at least two faculty members, ensuring a 1:1 teaching ratio.

The session will include presentation from the key contributors to the new GIRFT Greener Pathways A practical guide to decarbonising the total hip replacement pathway - Dr Joseph John, Dr Simon Lambracos and Dr Jonathan Evans. You will also hear a practical case study of Northumbria’s experience of day case/day one discharge hip surgery and learn about the role of trainees in the guidance development and implementation.

This conference provides a practical approach to preventing hospital acquired deconditioning in older adults, and moving beyond this to ensuring your patients are as active as possible and enabling reconditioning. It is widely recognised that hospital acquired deconditioning is a major issue in hospitals leading to functional decline, falls, readmissions, pressures on social care support and increase mortality. The conference will use case studies of best practice to support you to optimise safe activity for older people your service, and prevent both physical and cognitive deconditioning.

In response to the Governments Elective Recovery Plan and Get It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme, it is clear we must work differently to reduce variation and respond to these unprecedented waits. With continued pressure on in-patient beds, Day Case Total Hip Replacement Surgery presents an ideal opportunity to explore and expand the possibilities to increase day surgery activity.

Prehabilitation, or prehab, is a proactive approach to optimising patient health before undergoing a procedure or treatment. Prehabilitation comprises multidisciplinary healthcare interventions, including exercise, nutritional optimisation, and psychological preparation, which aim to improve outcomes and readiness for surgery or cancer treatment, with the aim being to shorten the period of recovery, reduce complications, and improve the quality of recovery and quality of life.

This important and timely conference will focus on improving care for hip fracture patients – learning from the September 2025 NHFD findings, and improving progress against the Key Performance Indicators and NICE quality standard for hip fracture. Through national updates and practical case studies the conference will highlight best practice in hip fracture care, improving the care pathway, patient experience and outcomes.

Through national updates and practical case studies the conference will highlight best practice in hip fracture care, improving the care pathway, patient experience and outcomes. This conference will focus on improving assessment, minimised delays to theatre, improving the pathway from falls to theatre, changing the role of the emergency department, ensuring hip fracture patients are prioritised for surgery, improve patient experience of hip fracture care, overcome contraindications, improving the anaesthetic and surgical pathway, and ensuring prompt mobilisation after surgery.
