BOA response to the BMA report on sexism and sexual violence towards medical students. The BMA report (7th November 2025) highlights disappointing and important issues. Sexism should have no place in medicine, and choice of a surgical career should not depend on gender. The BOA actively promotes increasing the percentage of females in trauma and orthopaedics and fostering positive, supportive working environments for the entire surgical team. We have developed resources on addressing sexual misconduct in healthcare and advice from female surgeons on a career in T&O. Read our full statement here: https://bit.ly/3LAP78f

Our Story

Our mission is to advance for the public benefit the practice, art and science of orthopaedic surgery. To do this we have designed a strategy focused on our core objectives of excellence in professional practice, training and education, and research. For each core objective we are currently developing a five year plan that sets out short, medium and long term deliverables. We review progress in each area periodically throughout the year, culminating with an annual report to Council. Because of the pace of change across the health care system we keep that report light on words and long on substance in the form of a presentation: effectively it becomes a decision support tool to inform future priorities across our three core objectives.
