I am a children’s and adult orthopaedic surgeon at the RJAH and I am your Training program director. You have a fantastic training opportunity ahead of you, which I hope will result in a successful and rewarding career as a consultant. We are fortunate in this rotation to have many keen trainers and other staff who will help you achieve this aim. However, it is important that you take charge of your training and are proactive and motivated. You have a lot to give the rotation as well. Without the involvement of the trainees, our training scheme will suffer. Working in the modern health service poses many challenges as a trainee, and not all things are within our control. If you are experiencing difficulties, though, please speak up early and contact your trainee, the post grad office, myself or the regional HEE department. This booklet is designed to give you a working knowledge of the rotation and a guide to how things work. Please fell free to ask questions. The teaching calendar is busy, so please note important dates in the diary such as in house exams, ARCP’s and teaching afternoons. Best of luck!

We encourage you to attend this teaching and use the facilities provided within. 1. Friday Afternoon Teaching Teaching on Friday afternoons are structured by firms. This is originates from a historic prespective when surgeons from a particular area use to come up to RJAH hospital to discuss cases before operating over the weekend. Each Trainee contributes to his Firm's Weekend. Choose a case to present in agreement with the organisers, present the history and be prepared to examine the patient. Present x-rays and provide a literature review for your colleagues – all to be presented as a PowerPoint presentation. 2. Attendance at Friday Afternoon Teaching All Friday teaching sessions are held at Oswestry unless you have been advised otherwise. Please make sure you report to Judy or Sandra in the Postgraduate Office. They will ensure your attendance is recorded and make sure you record the time you leave. Remember to notify them too of any annual leave, study leave or absences prior to the teaching session. Teaching opportunities are provided for your benefit and the high success rate for the FRCS (Tr&Orth) can be attributed to attendance at such teaching sessions. Failure to attend will result in an adverse ARCP outcome. 3. Stoke Trauma Teaching. Approximately one per month there will be a trauma teaching session in Stoke for Years ST3 – ST5.
