The American-British-Canadian (ABC) Travelling Fellowship is awarded by the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) to foster closer links between the future leaders of the trauma and orthopaedics profession in the USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Professor Griffin is one of only four UK Fellows who will join colleagues from South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia on a five week tour of orthopaedic research centres in North America and Canada. The tour, which begins in June, will visit centres of excellence at the universities of Calgary and Ottawa, before moving to the USA to visit Vanderbilt University, the University of Chicago, the Campbell Clinic, and the University of Colorado.
Professor Griffin, the Chair of Bone and Joint Health in the Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London, said: “The Fellowship will enable me to create the clinical academic collaborations of the future for the benefit of our patients.”
Bone and Joint Health was formed in 2020, and is part of Neuroscience, Surgery, and Trauma in the Blizard Institute.
