Mr Brownson invited to speak at the Indian Orthopaedic Society

On 4th July, Mr Brownson was one of the invited guest speakers at the Indian Orthopaedic Society UK. The meeting, held at the Echo Arena Convention Centre involved delegates from all over the UK, as well as delegates from India.
There is a very strong link between orthopaedics in India and orthopaedic training in the UK, particularly in Liverpool. This is a historical link as, in the past, many of India’s leading orthopaedic surgeons have undergone training in Liverpool, with many having achieved the post graduate qualification of Master of orthopaedic surgery MCh Orth.(Liverpool).

Mr Brownson was asked to speak at the plenary session and the title of his presentation was How to Investigate and Manage Rotator Cuff Disease. Other speakers during this session included Mr Richard Parkinson, the current president of the British Association for Knee Surgery and Mr Colin Howie, the current president of the British Orthopaedic Association.

Mr Brownson regarded it as a great honour to have been asked by such a prestigious society to present at their meeting. He has been involved in training many surgeons from India since his appointment as a consultant in 1998 and he has always enjoyed the links with his colleagues from the Indian Subcontinent.
