Deepa Bose is a consultant in orthopaedic trauma and limb reconstruction at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. Her practice is exclusively in adults, and includes general trauma, major trauma and post-traumatic limb reconstruction: osteomyelitis, malunion, non-union, limb lengthening & deformity correction.
She is currently Hono0rary Secretary of the BOA and has previously been Chair of the Specialist Advisory Committee for Trauma & Orthopaedics and the lead for CESR approval process. She has also contributed to the revision of the curriculum. She holds an MSc in Medical Education and has been admitted to the Faculty of Surgical Trainers of RCS Edinburgh, as well as being a member of the Academy of Medical Educators.
Rhidian trained in Cardiff at the University of Wales, College of Medicine as it was then, qualifying in 1989. His training rotation was between Oswestry and Stoke-on-Trent and included fellowships in Johannesburg and Sydney.
Rhidian has spent his Consultant career working on orthopaedic infection and revision knee replacements in Cardiff. He recently ‘transferred’ across the border to work in Colchester and help establish the Regional Revision Knee Network.
Rhidian has a strong interest in education at all levels and continues to lecture widely. He has had the pleasure of founding and running national knee infection meetings from which he continues to learn from his peers. A personal philosophy, when possible, has always been to organise cross-speciality meetings, which broadens one’s perspective and heightens respect for colleagues in other medical and non-medical areas. This led to being a co-founder of the Bone & Joint Infection Society (BAJIS) and the inaugural President. BAJIS is a true cross-speciality society for all healthcare workers, scientists and industry partners interested in managing orthopaedic infection.
Now living in Essex, he remains as Welsh as ever but perhaps a little less partisan than before. Professionally and personally, although life continually changes, he could not be happier than at present.
Rhidian is delighted to be elected as Honorary Treasurer and hopes to contribute and support our Association and the profession in any way he can.
Peter Young is a Consultant in Trauma & Orthopaedics in the West of Scotland. He undertook the BOA Travelling Fellowship in adult reconstruction and has subspecialty interests in revision hip and knee arthroplasty, bone and joint infection and the management of metastatic bone disease. He supports stem cell research with the University of Glasgow, Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment (CeMi).
