Join us for the 2024 Edinburgh University Trauma & Orthopaedic Society (EUTOS) Virtual Conference, hosted in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen Orthopaedic & Rheumatology Society! This yearâs conference will center on Diversity and Inclusivity in Orthopaedics, creating a platform for open discussion and learning about the unique experiences of underrepresented groups within the field.
Our lineup features expert speakers from diverse minority backgrounds who will share their personal and professional journeys, highlighting the challenges they faced and the resilience needed to overcome them. Gain insights into how the orthopaedic community can become more inclusive and supportive, from recruitment practices to creating a workplace culture that embraces all backgrounds.
