About Us

@ The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

The Birmingham Orthopaedic Network came about as a trainee-led collaborative between Birmingham Orthopaedic Training Programme (BOTP) registrars, the Naughton Dunn Club (NDC), and the Medical Education Team based at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital (ROH).

 

Together we are building a community dedicated to research, education and training in orthopaedics across the west midlands.

David Richardson – ROH Head of Education and Training

I am a training and development specialist and a qualified executive coach and NLP practitioner with generalist HR experience.  My career to date has provided me with wide breadth of experience, working at a senior level within both the private sector and the public sector. I have worked at the ROH since September 2010, and am the Head of Education and Training with responsibility for Medical Education, Library Services, ROH Trust Training and Development and the operational management of the Knowledge Hub. Prior to joining the ROH, I worked for a department store retailer for 17 years, with my final role being the Learning and Development Manager for the group. In September 2017, I was elected Non-Clinical Staff Governor for the Hospital for a 3 year term, and I take pride in my role as Contact officer, supporting staff during challenging times. I believe my personal style to be honest, authentic, engaging and professional. Having a passion for Yoga, practicing weekly, I like to escape annually to a yoga retreat to restore balance in my life
