Both of us, Dr. Jigar Chhapan and Dr. Shrikant Dalal, would like to thank Dr. Sanjeev Anand, Dr. Pushpindar Bajaj and Dr. Lalit Maini for giving us the opportunity to attend prestigious ISKSAA-BOA fellowship followed by British Orthopaedic Association conference from 4^th September to 22^nd September 2017.

As we being trained in Indian setup, we had an opportunity to observe British medical environment. It had become cultural exchange of idea on personal as well as professional front.

We are very much thankful to Dr. Sanjeev Anand. He helped us arrange the dates of our fellowship according our convenience, he took pain for lengthy paperwork, helped us manage accommodation in hospital premises only. On reaching there at Leads, we were welcome with warm hospitality. He introduced us to other consultants of various speciality including hip, knee, shoulder, spine, foot and ankle so that we can observe and follow them as per our interest. He took care of our daily schedule so that we could gain maximum. He shared with us many tips and tricks in each and every case in very nice and educative manor.

Large number of cases is performed systematically, methodically and in a very perfect way by a team of expert surgeons at Leeds teaching hospitals. It was a great opportunity for us to observe in large number in a short period. We learnt many minute points from different surgeons. We were also impressed by the attitude of all the surgeons towards us, they taught us many things during surgery as well as outpatient clinics.

One more thing we would like to share is the way of the discussion of the consultant with a patient in an outpatient clinic is really excellent. The communication approach is totally different from us. We liked the whole system by which patients are being taken care of. That was really a learning lesson for us.

We were given complimentary registration of the British Ortho association conference, during which we had interaction with consultants of different speciality from other parts of UK. We also had an interaction with BOA president and vice president. It was a proud moment for us.

So 3 weeks period became an academic and clinical feast for us.

We would be happy to share our experiences regarding ISKSAA-BOA fellowship. Feel free to contact us on following email address.
