Travel begins 27^th August 2024, and culminates at the BOA Annual Meeting in Birmingham on 17^th-20^th September 2024.  Fellows typically visit 5-6 centres in the United Kingdom.

This fellowship is a partnership of The Hip Society and British Hip Society and provides an exceptional exchange opportunity to two outstanding candidates from the United States and/or Canada and 2 candidates from the UK.  

Successful candidates will travel throughout the United Kingdom for a period of three to four weeks and will be hosted by world-renowned experts in adult hip reconstruction.  

The program will include opportunities for scientific exchange, operating theatre observations, close interaction with faculty, as well as social and cultural events.

Applicants should be members of the British Hip Society and be a Consultant or a post CCT fellow at the time of application. The applicants should confirm that they will be able to commit to attending the full period of the fellowship (weekends will be mostly free from academic and clinical activity, and fellows can return to family if they need to do so). 

Social and networking activities will be organised by the host centers for those who wish to join those – confirmation of plans will be required in advance.
