Hi 

Hope everyone has been enjoying the great summer we have been having. Please see below the latest ATOCP newsletter.  

It includes updates on the activity at regional branches and a showcase of what the ATOCP has contributed to recently. There is also a section on ATOCP sponsorship funding that is available.

If you have any feedback, or want to contribute to future editions, do get in touch. 

Details of the 4th annual ATOCP conference can be found on the link below. If anyone has any questions, get in touch with us on atocpchair@gmail.com

We are very fortunate to have partnered with the British Orthopaedic Association for this year's conference. Through joining the BOA as an affilliate member (only accessable to ATOCP members at the discounted rate of £70) you get free registration to the conference. We are holding our ATOCP day during the week (this has now been confirmed as Thursday 27th September).

The course is targeted to physiotherapists and other rehabilitation specialists to develop their musculoskeletal knowledge, incorporating an understanding of neurological control and acknowledging other external factors such as mood, behaviour can have on patient outcome.

Exciting opportunity to share your orthopaedic knowledge

Oxford Trauma launched a James Lind Alliance Research Priority Setting Exercise (PSP) in September 2016 regarding broken bones in older people. This PSP addresses broken bones of the lower limb and pelvis in patients over 60 years of age. The PSP is a collaboration of patients, carers and healthcare professionals who will identify the ‘top ten’ research priorities in this important area.

You may have participated in the first broken bones in older people survey and now we would like to invite you to take part in the second survey. This survey asks you to prioritise the responses which we received from the first survey. We anticipate that this should not take you longer than 30 minutes to complete. The survey can be found online at: www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/broken-bones-in-older-people

We are thrilled to be running our annual ATOCP Conference at Old Trafford in Manchester on the 14th October 2017.
