REPORT OF ISKSAA ABERDEEN 2015 FELLOWSHIP

I would like to start by thanking the ISKSAA team for selecting me for the Visiting Fellowship at WoodendHospital(NHS),Aberdeen,Scotland,under the guidance of Mr. Kapil Kumar Sir, who heads the Shoulder and sports Injuries unit. Apart from being an expert surgeon with great surgical skills ,he is also an exceptional teacher and a very warm & humble person. He guided me right from planning my travel ,to set up my stay at Woodend Staff home and made sure that my stay was comfortable.

My schedule was also well chalked out ,and was able to see the entire spectrum of shoulder surgeries. Kumar sir explained each and every aspect of the concerned surgery and helped clear all the doubts. I also visited his OPD's once a week and his examination, diagnosis and counselling skills were a sure eye opener for me when it comes to shoulder pathologies. I also observed shoulder & knee surgeries performed by Mr. David Caines ,MrKash Khan & Mr. Ian Jhonston,who were kind enough to discuss about the surgeries in detail.

A special mention of the MTI fellows and my co-fellow Dr. Raghvendra,who helped me out with every small confusion and made my stay a pleasant one .It was a great learning experience for me and I would definitely implement what I have learnt in my practice.

Thankyou.

Warm regards
