A message from our Chair
"Welcome to Bone & Joint Health. Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of people with bone and joint disorders and injuries. Barts Health NHS Trust has a long and distinguished history dating back to the 12th Century and continues to grow.
Barts and The London Charity funded the establishment of a new academic trauma and orthopaedic unit in August 2020. Starting something new is incredibly exciting and gives us a unique opportunity – to build a world-class team around our four core values.
Transforming how we do research is central to our mission, we need to test treatments faster and more economically so that we can accelerate improvements in clinical care. Our emphasis on developing large scale studies and collaborations in bone and joint health will allow for bigger trials completed in a shorter time frame.
More critical than any one of our studies is inspiring the next generation of clinical researchers who will keep our organisation and values at the forefront of research. Our home-grown mentoring program and initiatives to bring clinicians’ ideas to a reality will foster talent and inspire others to keep driving forward."
