Trauma and orthopaedics

Higher Surgical Training in Trauma and Orthopaedics encompasses the whole geographic region of Wales. All subspecialties are available across a network of hospitals with motivated and supportive training units to deliver the competencies required of the curriculum.

TRAINING IN WALES

Wales offers a geographically diverse yet rich and nurturing environment for training. Opportunities are available to be posted in the scenic North Wales Region: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (Bangor, Rhyl, Wrexham) and the school is partnered with NHS England: the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt hospital (Oswestry).

The more populated South Wales region has trainees posted at: Hywel Dda University Health Board (Carmarthen and Llanelli), Swansea Bay University Health board (Morriston, Neath & Port Talbot), Cwm Taf University Hospital Board (Bridgend, Llantrisant, Merthyr); Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (Newport).

There is a regular teaching curriculum to support trainees both in North and South Wales with a high success rate at both Section 1 and 2 of the FRCS (Tr & Orth) examinations.

There is an annual Welsh Orthopaedic Society Meeting and Registrars Day to showcase research and training achievements for the region and an opportunity to network with fellow colleagues.
