Surgeon’s Quarter hosts 300 of the world’s leading medical professionals

OVER 300 of the world’s leading medical professionals descended on Scotland’s capital for The British Orthopaedic Trainees Association (BOTA) Annual Congress.

The three-day gathering was held across multiple venues at Surgeons Quarter, the commercial arm of The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, located in the heart of Scotland’s capital city, with this years theme focusing on careers and development.

Marking BOTA’s second-ever hybrid international conference, over 300 orthopaedic specialists from across the globe registered for this year’s event, making it the largest BOTA Congress to date.

Education Representative of BOTA, Abhinav Singh said: “Our annual Congress has become a hugely anticipated event; from our founding 45 senior registrars to the current number of over 1500 mem-bers, the event is a testament to our strong and successful community.

“The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is an integral part of Scotland’s rich medical history, and hosting our event at Surgeons Quarter was the perfect backdrop for professionals in orthopaedics to connect and help build a stronger, more cohesive community.

“BOTA’s conference is the largest orthopaedic trainee event in the UK, and last year’s Congress was our second-ever worldwide hybrid event, which was a major success.”

Lauded keynote speaker Professor Rowan Parks, President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, headlined the opening session sharing wisdom garnered over his extensive career and how to be an effective trainer.

André Soromenho, Business Support and Events Manager, said: “This is the second time we’ve hosted the BOTA Annual Congress in person – first was in 2018, so we are delighted that they re-turned for a second time.

“Hosting events like the BOTA Annual Congress is a true privilege for us at Surgeons Quarter. Bringing together such an esteemed group of medical professionals from around the world aligns with our mission to helping advance surgical education though providing support and training.

“Being able to witness the growth of the BOTA and being able to play a small role in its congress as it supports it members in the development of their career paths is brilliant.”

Surgeons Quarter also hosted BOTA’s Postgrad Course and Bootcamp virtually in July 2021.

Profits from the Surgeons Quarter portfolio go towards the advancement of surgery and the im-provement of patient outcomes worldwide.
