Background
In order to be employed as an orthopaedic practitioner, one must undertake on the job training, followed by a further 6 weeks at Stanmore hospital for academic teaching, and subsequent practical/verbal examination.
On completion of this training, the student is rewarded a level5/6 certificate, and is signed onto a professional register for orthopaedic practitioners under the British Orthopaedic Association.
