T&O and COVID-19, the Good, the Bad and the Future: Introduction
Description
The 2020 BOA Virtual Congress opens with Bob Handley welcoming attendees to the first of the live sessions. He acknowledges the previous presidential address by Don McBride and discusses the importance of participating in the congress, particularly in the upcoming AGM, which requires a quorum for decisions to be made. The focus of this morning's session is on trauma and orthopaedics in the context of COVID-19, humorously titled "The Good, The Bad, and the Future" to allow for a broad discussion.
Handley provides practical details for engagement, including registration for live sessions and the ability to submit questions during presentations, encouraging attendees to keep their inquiries concise. A lineup of expert presenters includes Keith Willett, Chris Moran, Andrew Bennett, Tim Briggs, and Phil Turner, each contributing expertise on their respective roles in the NHS and their impact on orthopaedic practice amidst the pandemic. Presenters will each have approximately ten minutes to present, with a call for specific questions for Willett given his time constraints. The session aims to facilitate an interactive and informative discussion for all participants.
