ISKSAA BESS UK TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP 2022

It was a great experience to be a part of ISKSAA 2023. I am indebted to Dr. Pushpinder Bajaj (president) and Dr. Lalit Maini (chairman) of ISKSAA, who gave me the platform to learn from the surgeons at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital. I would like to thank the executives of ISKSAA and BESS president Mr Joanna Hall for granting me ISKSAA BESS travelling fellowship 2023.

My fellowship duration was of two weeks, starting from june 28 2023 at BESS annual meet to july 14 2023. My fellowship at Liverpool consisted of visiting at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and Broadgreen Hospital, Upper limb unit.

Mr Rish Parmar and Mr Kent were my mentors during the fellowship program.

Mr Parmar is a very helpful and kind person. Before my visit to Liverpool, he helped me with accommodations, and helped me booking the hotel in advance. On visiting Royal Liverpool Hospital, he introduced me to the upper limb team. He helped me in preparing a roster, so that I could gain maximum from my visit.

My visits included attending OR at Royal Liverpool Hospital and at Royal Broadgreen Hospital. On a few days, I also attended the OPD with the upper limb team.

My day used to start at 8 am with case discussions. After that, I went to OR at either Royal Liverpool Hospital or Royal Broadgreen Hospital. I got to observe a lot of surgeries including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, arthroscopic Bankart repair, acromioclavicular dislocation, total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse shoulder arthroplasty etc. Before the surgery, the fellows and consultants briefed me the case and we used to discuss the management options and the salient points about surgery. All the consultants were very keen on teaching and helped me maximize my visit.

At weekends, I also visited the historic city of Liverpool. I visited the Georgian Quarter, Pier head, Prince’s dock, Merseyside maritime museum, Royal Albert dock and Museum of Liverpool. Liverpool indeed has a very rich and vast history.

In the end I would again like to thank Dr Pushpinder Bajaj, Dr Lalit Maini for giving me this opportunity of learning. I would also like to thank Mr Rish Parmar and all the other consultants and fellows of Upper limb unit of Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen hospitals who shared their knowledge details related to upper limb surgeries.
