(1)

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust (RNOH) is the largest orthopaedic hospital in the UK, and is regarded as a leader in the field of orthopaedics both in the UK and world-wide. The RNOH provides a comprehensive range of neuro-musculoskeletal health care, ranging from acute spinal injury or complex bone tumour to orthopaedic medicine and specialist rehabilitation for chronic back pain sufferers. As a national centre of excellence, the RNOH treats patients from across the country, many of whom have been referred by other hospital consultants for second opinions or for treatment of complex or rare conditions. Patients benefit from a team of highly specialised consultants, many of whom are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise and experience. Consultants are supported in their work by nurses, therapists and other specialist clinical staff who are trained experts in their particular fields of orthopaedic care. The RNOH plays a major role in teaching, with 20% of all UK orthopaedic surgeons receive training here. Our teaching and clinical effectiveness are enhanced by our work in research and development and academic links with University College, London. Research departments at Stanmore include the Institute of Orthopaedics, the Centre for Disability Research and Innovation, the Institute of Human Performance and the Centre for Biomedical Engineering. The RNOH works closely with other hospitals and trusts, with whom we have joint appointments to ensure maximum availability of specialist skills for patients. Our patients benefit from access to ASPIRE leisure centre which is located on site and hosts first-class facilities for able-bodied and disabled people.

Yesterday, RNOH marked Holocaust Memorial Day. The event honours the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, alongside all victims of genocide, and attendees reflected on the consequences of hatred, prejudice and indifference.

Holocaust Memorial Day matters because it is not only about the past. It challenges us, here and now, to recognise our shared humanity and our responsibility to stand against discrimination in all its forms. In a healthcare setting, where dignity, compassion and respect are foundational, this remembrance speaks directly to who we are and how we care for one another.

The commemoration was led jointly by Fr Paul Reece, RNOH Chaplain, and Rabbi Kathleen Middleton, from the Mosaic Reform Synagogue, Stanmore, reflecting the Trust’s commitment to inclusion, understanding and unity across faiths and beliefs.

This year’s theme was “Building Bridges.” It invites us to reflect on how hatred tears communities apart, and how courage, compassion, and solidarity can rebuild what has been broken.

Purple ribbons were fixed to the railing opposite The Stanmore Building by the attendees to symbolise their reflection on the past and commitment to the future.

It may have been raining outside but it was all laughter and smiles yesterday as members of the RNOH team who won the ISUG (Inter Spinal Unit Games) 2025 came to SCIC and the Aspire centre to celebrate their win and receive medals.

The medal-winning team talked about what great fun they had at the event, held last year at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Their victory came on the back of their top placing in 2024! So, can they make it a triple-whammy this year? We'll find out later this year when the games are held once more.

After the medal presentation, there was a chance to train and play a game of basketball in the Aspire sports hall, courtesy of London Titans Wheelchair Basketball Club who shared tips and pointers on how to compete at their top level. Our thanks to them for a great time!

Research Management and Governance Team – Rosie Parker, Yojna Das, and Christy Benny highlighted their vital role in ensuring compliance with national regulations and supporting study set-up.

Research Success Stories – Amit Patel and Fiona Fitzgerald shared inspiring examples of research making a real-world impact on patient outcomes at RNOH.

The event concluded with closing remarks from John Doyle, Director of Allied Health Professions, reinforcing the commitment to advancing research and innovation at RNOH through the Research and Innovation Centre as the central hub.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a success. Together, we'll continue to innovate, collaborate, and lead the way in orthopaedic research.
