Mr Brownson elected Treasurer of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society

The British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS) was founded in 1987 as a result of the increased interest in shoulder and elbow surgery in the UK.
Amongst other areas, BESS is extremely active in promoting clinical trials in this specialist area in the hope that new procedures can improve treatment outcomes. The society holds regular instructional courses and has proved an invaluable forum for health professionals (both surgeons and physiotherapists) specialising in this field to meet and work together for the patients benefit.
Mr Peter Brownson, Senior partner at the Bone and Joint Centre in Liverpool, and formerly Membership Secretary of BESS, has this year, following the 2014 AGM, been elected as Treasurer of the Society.
BESS is the largest sub speciality society affiliated to the British Orthopaedic Association with over 750 members attending this years’ AGM in Sheffield.

Mr Brownson explains,
“I have been a member of the BESS for a number of years now and I am extremely proud of my new position. To be recognised by so many of my peers is very humbling. The Society does so much great work and I am very much looking forward to my time as Treasurer.”
