Description & schedule
Summary
BOTA are proud to bring you this year's Sustainability in Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery Virtual Conference, which we are hosting in collaboration with Orthopaedic Research UK (ORUK).
BOTA recognises the importance of sustainable and environmentally responsible delivery of healthcare, and strongly supports the movement towards NHS Net Zero. Theatre contribution to the NHS carbon footprint is significant, and there is much work to be done to address this. Through the work of the BOTA Sustainability & Workforce Representative, we strive to improve the delivery of our own services, including our annual Congress, to ensure we are as sustainable as possible, as well as working with stakeholders on Green Surgery and Sustainability initiatives. This Sustainability in T&O Conference is the centrepiece of our work in showcasing the great work being done in our specialty, and promoting these values of sustainable surgery in T&O.
The focus of this year's event will be on green surgery, and how we can assess and reduce the environmental impact of our work.
The morning session will see a variety of speakers discussing ongoing important areas for progress, and their ongoing work, as well as how you can get more involved as an interested individual. Speakers include Deborah Eastwood (BOA), Andrew Stevenson (RCS England), Jonathan Evans (Exeter), and Hammad Parwaiz (NJR Fellow).
The afternoon will see pitches for ORUK's £1500 of seed funding towards future sustainability projects, as well as presentations of your audit and quality improvement work on sustainability in Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery (https://oruk.org/oruk-sustainability-research-project-submission-form/?cn-reloaded=1).
Please contact sustainabilityandworkforce@bota.org.uk for further information or if you have any questions, or if you would be interested in speaking at the event (not including abstract submissions).
