ISKSAA EAST MIDLANDS UK TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP 2025
It was a great honour and privilege to undertake a Fellowship in Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty at Grantham and District Hospital, Lincolnshire, UK, under the mentorship of Dr. Rohit Rambani.
The fellowship was an outstanding educational experience that provided invaluable exposure to contemporary orthopaedic practice within the NHS. I had the opportunity to observe a broad spectrum of arthroscopic and arthroplasty procedures, gaining insight into advanced surgical techniques, meticulous pre-operative planning, evidence-based decision-making, and comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation. The emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and patient-centred care further enriched my learning experience.
Dr. Rambani's exceptional surgical expertise, precision, and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of patient care. Equally impressive was his passion for teaching and mentoring. His willingness to share his knowledge, discuss complex clinical scenarios, and explain the nuances of surgical decision-making created an inspiring learning environment that encouraged both academic curiosity and professional growth.
Beyond the operating theatre, the fellowship offered a deeper appreciation of the high standards of clinical governance, teamwork, and quality improvement that underpin orthopaedic practice within the NHS. The experience has broadened my perspective, strengthened my clinical judgment, and reinforced the importance of delivering evidence-based, patient-focused care.
I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Rohit Rambani and the entire orthopaedic team at Grantham and District Hospital for their warm hospitality, generous mentorship, and unwavering support throughout my fellowship. The knowledge, skills, and professional values I have gained during this experience will remain an integral part of my career and will undoubtedly help me provide better care and improved outcomes for my patients.
