Students on the Trauma Sciences Summer School in front of the London Air Ambulance on the helipad of The Royal London HospitalIn August 2022, we hosted our yearly Summer School event. Students from across the globe attended the two-week hands-on training course which included an international lecture series, interactive group exercises and world-renowned training in the field of trauma. Humanitarian speakers included Dr Swee Chai Ang and Professor Christos Giannou, with additional talks around difficult decisions in medicine and orthopaedic specialties. Training took place across London, UK at the Smith and Nephew head office where orthopaedic specialists took part in a variety of training while the trauma specialists took part in HEMS training, surgical training, and simulation training. The event is held yearly and students are encouraged to attend should they enrol on the MSc.
