Round Table

The Round Table concept has been an established and an enviable professional education event in British foot and ankle surgery for over 10 years. The focus of the Round Table event has been to gain the thoughts and opinions, with consensus where possible, of Consultant Orthopaedic, Foot and Ankle Surgeons, who gathered from across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Americas. The meeting is unique in that all participants have an equal input to review the literature and present their individual experience on a topic - with ample time for an informal discussion of the subject in a relaxed setting. A basis of invited lectures provides open and frank discussions from which consensus is sought. To date, over 100 Foot and Ankle Consultant Orthopaedic, Foot and ankle Surgeons have attended and contributed to the success of this prestigious event. Though, it is eminence rather than true evidenced-based medicine, this represents the concepts of over 1000 years of combined experience.

A special mention must be acknowledged to Mr Dishan Singh who has collaborated with OrthoSolutions from its inception in 2011 and offered his clinical expertise and organisation to all Round Table consensus meetings to date.
