At Imperial, you will be based at both St. Mary’s (trauma) and Charing Cross (mostly elective) sites. All trainees will usually spend at least one year here. St. Mary’s is a Major Trauma Centre (MTC) – you experience a huge variety of orthopaedic trauma and will have the opportunity to take part in management of polytrauma patients in combination with other specialties (Plastics, Vascular, Radiology). Imperial also has a strong research infrastructure and provides ample opportunities for those who are interested.
Charing Cross Hospital is based in Hammersmith and is where all elective operating takes place. In addition there is a daily fracture clinic which you will often be rostered to cover.
