BESS supports upper limb orthopaedic research through its pump priming grants and survey circulation. In addition to this, we are proud to support two James Lind Alliance projects: common shoulder problems; and elbow conditions. BESS members have also been involved in several multi-centred national surgical trials. You can find out more these activities below.
New! for BESS 2022
We are inviting people to submit systematic reviews and meta-analyses for presentation in our research session. These can be submitted via the BESS abstract submission portal but will be assessed separately from the other applicants. This is to recognise that, when done well, these methods of evidence synthesis can give clinicians a good steer about their own clinical practice.
