Description
The video features a plenary session led by Deborah Eastwood, introducing Amy Grove and Joanna Maggs, co-investigators of the LOST study focused on sustainability in orthopedic surgical training. They discuss the challenges faced by trainees, particularly in the context of a demanding NHS environment. The speakers highlight themes from their research, including inadequate training opportunities due to systemic pressures, negative workplace culture, and the interrelation of confidence and competence within the surgical community. Personal testimonies reveal how these issues affect professionals' careers and well-being, with a focus on the need for radical improvements in training and support. Ultimately, they underscore the importance of community support and allyship among colleagues to create a more sustainable and nurturing environment for future orthopedic surgeons.
