Trauma and orthopaedic registrar Mr Nick Smith, at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust has been awarded the Robert Jones Medal and Association Prize, an annual essay writing competition, at the British Orthopaedic Association’s annual congress. The award is given in memory of Sir Robert Jones, a surgical pioneer considered by many to be the father of modern orthopaedics.
He said: “Sir Robert Jones was a true pioneer, and it is a great honour to win this prize and in a small way be associated with his name. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to work with experts Mr Tim Spalding and Mr Peter Thompson in performing research in the field of meniscal transplantation.”
