ISKSAA DURHAM TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIPS
"Thanks a lot to ISKSAA for the great exposure. I will remain always indebted to ISKSAA. I will always be available for ISKSAA ."We arrived at Newcastle Upon Tyne airport on 30th Sep. Dr Sanjeev Anand received us with a warm welcome. Then we moved to his house where we had to stay with him for 2 weeks . It was a great arrangement and was more than home . We had delicious dinner and discussed our fellowship plans and expectations.
Next Day we reached Birmingham to attend the BOA (British Orthopaedic Association Conference) with Dr Sanjeev by his car . We attended all four days there. Registration was made complimentary by Dr Sanjeev with great efforts . It was a different experience for me as a kind of conference I have never attended. It was full of academic programme, research and modern philosophy oriented . Theme of it was Evidence putting into Action . Apart from great academic discussions , personal interview from the NHS director was very interesting. We returned back on 4th Oct .
Next day was a weekend there but Dr Sanjeev arranged theatre for us at Hartlepool University hospital where we were shown Knee arthroscopy surgeries. Next Day (Sunday) we attended morning trauma meeting at Stockton on Tee University hospital and operating theatres with Dr Maheshwaran. In next few working days , we were exposed to a variety of surgeries. We were introduced with the other consultants ie Dr Rajesh Nanda, Dr Raymond Lion and participated with their discussions as well . Dr Rajesh Nanda treated us like younger brother and taught us many concepts and fundamentals about shoulder surgery. .
We were fortunate enough to attend the FRCS course on 11-12th Oct at General Hospital ,Bishop Auckland and Freeman Hospital, Newcastle Upon Tyne. It was a great experience to get exposed to Royal College examination system.
I learned many new methodologies of patient examination and surgery which will certainly boost my clinical armamentarium. It was a wholesome and happening fellowship and I hope it will change my clinical practice and vision .
I am really thankful to ISKSAA who gave me an opportunity for one of the best fellowships . I have no words for Dr Sanjeev Anand and it will always be something less to speak about him.
