Miss Kate Brown will be giving a talk on her life as an orthopaedic surgeon and an army doctor with case-based discussions and how management of trauma and reconstructive surgery on tour has progressed during her career.

Miss Kate Brown graduated from Oxford Medical School in 2002. She trained in orthopaedic surgery in the North East Thames region before obtaining her FRCS (Trauma and Orthopaedics) in 2014.

She is a Lt Col in the Armed Forces and has completed tours of duty in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. She maintains her trauma clinical skills as a Major Trauma Consultant at the Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham.

She completed her post CCT Hand Fellowship in Derby and was successful in the British Diploma of Hand Surgery in 2017, prior to being appointed as a Hand Consultant in April 2018.

This is not a talk to miss for anyone interested in medicine within the armed forces, trauma management, reconstruction and being a woman in orthopaedics and army medicine.
