Joint Action Update
We would like to offer a huge thank you to our TCS London Marathon runners and Ford Ride London riders 2024. Our amazing teams have raised nearly £20k so far for the Joint Action appeal of the British Orthopaedic Association, far surpassing their fundraising target! These vital funds supporting research into musculoskeletal conditions will help transform lives and give people back their freedom and independence.
There are over 20 million people of all ages in the UK living with a musculoskeletal condition and over 20,000 people are impacted by major trauma every year; that’s about one third of the population.
As a charity, we strive to transform the lives of those impacted by musculoskeletal conditions and injuries by funding research and innovation across Trauma and Orthopaedics. Developing a robust clinical research infrastructure goes hand in hand with the BOA mission of Caring for Patients, Supporting Surgeons and our Joint Action appeal provides dedicated funds to achieve this through activities like Clinical Trials and Research Fellowships.
