The Trauma and Orthopaedics Unit at Royal Derby comprises 8 purpose-built state of the art laminar flow theatres as well as dedicated outpatient clinic facilities for both Trauma and Elective patients. As one of the largest Orthopaedic Departments in the country, the full spectrum of hip and knee surgery is performed by the Surgeons in Derby. NJR revision data show the department’s arthroplasty results to be second to none in the country.
The hospital has a state of the art postgraduate training library and a variety of teaching and clinical audit sessions occur throughout each month. The Royal Derby Hospital runs regular teaching sessions and is committed to career progression and furthering education.

It should be noted that this post does not carry with it a National Training Number ‘of right’ as the focus of the Fellowship has moved towards post CCT super-specialist Training. However, the post holders have, in the past, always been given retrospective approval by the SAC if the need arose due to their stage of training.
