BOA Travelling Fellowships

Applications for 2023 Travelling Fellowships are now open and close on 23rd October 2023.

The BOA endeavours to provide exceptional educational training opportunities for its members throughout each stage of their careers.

Every year, the BOA offers a number of Travelling Fellowships to its members. We invite applications for funding to undertake a fellowship either within the UK or overseas, at one or more centres of excellence to gain knowledge and experience within trauma and orthopaedic surgery.

We are keen to ensure this opportunity is available to our members this year, but have felt it necessary to make some changes to the scheme, which are outlined in the 2023 Instructions and Advice document. 

The fellowship awards are allocated on merit to current BOA Home Associates, Post-CCT members, or SAS Surgeon members. Applicants must be up-to-date with their subscription payments, and Post-CCT members are eligible as long as they have not taken up a Substantive Consultant post or been appointed to one by the closing date of 23rd October 2023.

We are grateful to the fellowship sponsors of 2023, as follows:

• Heraeus (1 fellowship on infection in memory of Andrew Sprowson)
• Post-Graduate Orthopaedics (1 fellowship)

We are also delighted to announce the SAS Education Fellowship. New for 2023, the BOA invites applications for the SAS Education Fellowship from SAS and LED members for a project of up to 12 months to support their education or career development.

We also recognise the endowments set up through donations and/or bequests from past members Mr Soli Lam and Mr Ram Kumar Chatterjee. We have allocated funds from these endowments (Soli Lam General Fund, Soli Lam Spinal Fund and Chatterjee Fund) to support a number of other fellowships.
