It will be a great privilege to serve the European Hip Society as President and to help strengthen education, research, and communication in hip surgery in Europe.
I am excited by the opportunity to represent all European colleagues and to raise the profile of the EHS. I am a very active clinician with a high volume clinical practice of complex hip surgery encompassing young adult sports surgery all the way through to complex revisions. I have a big academic portfolio and a strong track record in leadership nationally in the UK and internationally. I have published and presented widely. I have strong contacts worldwide and will bring international recognition and key collaborations to the European Hip Society.
My goal would be to work with the Executive Committee and with National Reps and Ambassadors and Members of the Society to strengthen the scale and scope of local and collaborative offerings, and the communication and the interactions of the European Hip Society with its members. The European Hip Society needs to refresh and re-energise. We need to look at the committee structures and strengthen ExCom, EduCom and SciCom, and ensure that they are active, productive and delivering national involvement and input, and up-to-date education initiatives and appropriate research platforms and support. There are also funds that would allow us to launch new fellowships and forge close links between European colleagues for the future.
I also hope to raise the profile and reach of the European Hip Society worldwide. My involvement would open and energise international links to the benefit of our society and its members.
