My name is Naomi, and I started my speciality training in 2017 in the East Midlands South rotation. I took time out of training to do a PhD, looking at blood conservation in arthroplasty and I am pleased to say I have finally completed the PhD this summer. I am currently on maternity leave, but when I return to work I will start an Academic Clinical Lectureship (ACL) with Oxford University, where I hope to continue this research.

I am a mother to two boys (the most recent being this August 2023) and am wife to another orthopod. I enjoy family time, travelling (where possible with two young children!) and cooking. I feel very proud to be part of the BHS Culture and Diversity committee and of the achievements of the committee so far. The BHS C&D committee has worked hard to be more inclusive of people like myself and others, who perhaps previously felt marginalised from the society. I have now met many inspiring people on the committee and within the society, which has cemented my ambition to become a hip surgeon and I hope to be able to play my part in the future and to inspire the next generation of hip surgeons.

I am currently working on the challenging discriminatory behaviour workstream, video biography series and medical school engagement programme. I would be very happy for anyone who might want to find out more or get involved to please get in touch!

I am a consultant T&O surgeon in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. My  subspecialty interests are in primary hip and knee arthroplasty, revision hip arthroplasty and trauma. I am the Hip fracture lead within my trust.  I have been  a member of the BHS C&D committee since its inception, being part of the team to establish the mentorship programme.

My name is Hari, and I am an Academic Foundation Doctor on the North West London rotation. I developed a passion for hip surgery during medical school and now lead the British Hip Society’s national medical student engagement programme, aiming to inspire the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. I am also the 2025 ORUK x BHS Research Fellow and will be taking time out of training to pursue a DPhil at Oxford, focusing on inequalities in access to total hip arthroplasty.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy cricket, swimming, and squash. Being part of the BHS has been hugely rewarding, and I feel proud to contribute to its education and engagement initiatives. Meeting inspiring colleagues within the society has reinforced my ambition to become a hip surgeon, and I hope to support and encourage others along the same path.

I am an ST3 training in the East Midlands North Deanery. I am passionate about equality, diversity, and inclusion within surgical training and theatre culture. As a member of the BHS C&D committee, I am looking forward to contributing to workstreams that promote professionalism, accountability, and inclusive practice within the orthopaedic community. 

I am a Consultant in the Lower Limb Arthroplasty Unit based in Sheffield, and I’m excited to be joining the Culture and Diversity Working Group. It will be a  privilege to contribute to the excellent work that has already been achieved. My aim is to help mentor the next generation of hip surgeons by fostering a supportive and inclusive environment - one that champions equality and reflects the growing diversity of both our profession and the patients we serve.

I'm currently an Exeter Hip Fellow having completed her Orthopaedic training on the Mersey rotation. I'm keen to encourage the right people to join our fab subspecialty - anyone who wants to work hard and play hard! I realy enjoy being part of the BHS Culture & Diversity committee and as part of my role I am the Schools Engagement Lead.

I am an ST8 in the South Yorkshire Orthopaedic Rotation.  I am due to undertake fellowships in Nottingham and Northumbria.  Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my young family (two boys aged 1 year and 4 years old), getting out into the amazing South Yorkshire countryside and playing baseball.  I have a keen interest in access to healthcare, particularly arthroplasty surgery, in patients from otherwise marginalised groups.  Also, as someone who had ADHD in childhood, I have an interest in the impact of neurodiversity in orthopaedic and surgical training.  

I am currently an ST7 in the East Midlands South deanery with a particular interest in revision arthroplasty. I’m joining the C&D Committee as Fellowship Lead. In this role, I will first identify the criteria that prospective, current, and past fellows consider most important when choosing a fellowship. With this I will compile a comprehensive dossier of UK-based fellowships. This resource will be designed to help applicants research opportunities, highlight discrepancies between programmes (for example, pay and operative exposure), and ultimately promote greater quality and equity.

I am a T&O Speciality Registrar in the Birmingham Rotation and BOTA's current Culture and Diversity Representative. I am deeply passionate about medical education and strive to improve access to training, particularly for ethnic minorities, international graduates, and individuals with additional needs. I am committed to fostering inclusivity and equity within Orthopaedics while advancing patient care and education.
