Respected Sir,

I was selected to be a part of the ISKSAA travelling fellowship in 2025 from 31st March 2025 to 19th April 2025 and am extremely grateful to Dr Pushpinder Bajaj, Dr Lalit Maini and the other members of ISKSAA for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this enriching experience.

The fellowship was a 3-week programme in Orpington Hospital and Princess Royal University Hospital under our coordinator, Mr Sandeep Kohli. Both hospitals were tertiary care modern centres.

I attended this fellowship with another fellow, Dr. Argha Kusum Roy. On our first day at the hospital, we were briefed by our guide, Mr. Sandeep Kohli, who introduced us to the staff and gave us a brief orientation of both the hospitals and the fellowship programme.

Mr Sandeep Kohli is a very skilled, kind and helpful person. He is a master of his field. He made sure that we got a full exposure to elective as well as trauma lists. He discussed cases in depth and gave us a new perspective on preoperative and postoperative care.

During our visit, we met, discussed and exchanged ideas with Mr Kiran, Mr Rajat Verma, Mr Joydeep Sinha, and Mr Berry Andrews. All consultants were more than helpful in discussing and guiding us with their surgeries while performing them. We were exposed to primary and revision knee and hip arthroplasty, knee and shoulder arthroscopic surgeries and various trauma cases. Observing and learning the many varieties of surgical procedures performed by the experts was very satisfying and enriching. We also attended the morning trauma meets, which gave a perspective on the importance of multi-disciplinary patient care.

This fellowship also provided me with an opportunity to visit various attractions in London, and it was an incredible experience. It was an enriching experience, both professionally and personally, and I am highly obliged that ISKSAA selected me for this fellowship, which will be a big help in enhancing my skills in my day-to-day practice.

I sincerely thank Dr Pushpinder Bajaj, Dr Lalit Maini, Mr Sandeep Kohli and the ISKSAA team for facilitating this amazing clinical fellowship.
