The Liverpool Limb Reconstruction Service has embraced teaching and training as part of its ethos. Ever since 1999 when the first Fellow joined the unit, there has been a steady stream of Fellows and Observers from within the UK and internationally.
This teaching and training practice extends to all professions within the service, occurring within individual disciplines and across them. The unit prides itself on open discussions over clinical and basic science issues, encouraging attention to detail in preoperative planning and surgery, and audit – both formal and informal. In addition to small group teaching and workshops for the Registrars, Fellows and Observers, the unit has held national courses in limb reconstruction, fracture surgery by the Ilizarov method, and management of open tibial fractures.
Liverpool has hosted the annual conference of the British Limb Reconstruction Society twice (2001 and 2016) and more recently, the biennial Congress of the ASAMI-BR and ILLRS societies (2019).
Liverpool has hosted a course on the management of open tibial fractures for many years and have included eminent faculty from all over the UK
The course on open tibial fractures teaches the paradigms on management endorsed by the BAPRAS and the BOA. It involves plenary lectures, saw bone and cadaveric workshops and in-depth discussions of cases.
During Fellowships and Observerships, sessions (including saw bone workshops) are provided to familiarise surgeons with many of the concepts practised during complex reconstructions of the limb. Additionally, there is tuition on deformity analysis and software-based simulations of deformity correction.
Allied Health Professionals are supported throughout with individualised training as well as support to visit other centres of excellence and to attend courses pertinent to this specialty. Several members of the Liverpool unit have been invited to lecture internationally to multi-disciplinary audiences.
