British Shoulder and Elbow Society Annual Conference 2019

Mr Brownson will be attending the forthcoming annual conference of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society which this year will be held in Harrogate.

The conference will include an Instructional course on the theme of Sports Injuries.

Mr Brownson will be presenting on the management of traumatic anterior shoulder instability. In addition he will be presenting on the management of atraumatic shoulder instability following publication of the recent BESS guidelines on this topic, for which he was one of the authors.

This will be Mr Brownson’s last conference as President of the Society. He has invited as his guest speaker his good friend and colleague Dr Brian Busconi, who is the Team Physician for the Boston Red Sox baseball team.

At the conference Mr Brownson will be giving a review of the recent visit of the Copeland fellows to India. As a consequence of their visit links have been strengthened between the British Elbow and Shoulder Society and the Shoulder and Elbow Society of India.

Mr Brownson together with his colleagues Dr Ashish Babhulkar (Pune, India) and Mr Ram Chidambaram (Chennai, India) have worked to establish an exchange fellowship between the two societies which will begin next year and in addition the Shoulder and Elbow Society of India will become an affiliated society of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society with representation on the editorial board of the Shoulder and Elbow journal.
