Policy
The Orthopaedic Trauma Society is the official body representing trauma orthopaedics in the UK, as recognised by the British Orthopaedic Association, NICE, NHS England, and the International Orthopaedic Trauma Association.
It has represented the UK, as part of the guest nation status, for the North American Orthopaedic Trauma Association in 2017, and the German Congress of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in 2018. It acts as a stakeholder for NICE clinical guidance and quality standards, and its members represent trauma and orthopaedics on numerous national and international panels. This produces standards and consensus, directs research initiatives and leads on education and revalidation.
