New BOA Trustees (2021–2023)
Fares Haddad Amar Rangan I am a Shoulder & Elbow Surgeon at South Tees Hospitals NHS Trust in Middlesbrough and I’m Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, holding the Mary Kinross Trust & Royal College of Surgeons Chair at Department of Health Sciences and Hull York Medical School, University of York. I also hold a full Professorship with the Faculty of Medical Sciences & NDORMS, University of Oxford. I am current President of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society. I was Chair of the BOA Research Committee from 2013-2018; the Academic / APOS representative on the T&O SAC from 2013 to 2016; and have been FRCS (Tr& Orth) examiner for the Intercollegiate Specialty Boards for 10 years. I lead a programme of clinical and translational research, including NIHR funded multi-centre clinical trials. I have been published widely in Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery, particularly in the field of Shoulder & Elbow surgery, where my work has influenced clinical practice, national guidelines and policy. I am a member of the NIHR i4i Challenge Awards Committee and am a surgeon member of the Steering Committee of the National Joint Registry. There are obvious challenges ahead to our professional practice during the pandemic and beyond, but also some exciting opportunities for us to become innovative with our services, education and research. I look forward to contributing to the BOA’s work in these areas. We have come a long way in the last decade in world leading, practice changing research. I will work to build on our strengths to attract further investment into T&O research to benefit our patients and our services. n

I am a Hip and Knee Reconstructive Orthopaedic and Sports Surgeon at University College Hospitals, Divisional Clinical Director of Surgical Specialties at UCH, and Director of the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health at University College London. I graduated from the University College London Hospitals with a First Class BSc and MB BS. I was the gold medallist in the FRCS (Orth) exam and have gained a large number of prizes and prestigious academic awards. I have been an EFORT Travelling Fellow, British Hip Society Travelling Fellow and ABC Travelling Fellow in 2004. I was a Hunterian Professor in 2005. I am Editor-in-Chief of the Bone and Joint Journal. My clinical and research endeavours have centred on hip and knee reconstruction. I have presented and published widely on key aspects of hip, knee and sports surgery and continue to lead a clinical research group with interests in hip and knee joint preservation after injury, prosthetic design and performance and outcomes measurement after hip / knee surgery and sports injuries. I was the musculoskeletal lead at the 2012 London Olympics and run the IOC research centre at ISEH. I am Chief Medical Officer for the NFL in the UK. I am really pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to the challenges facing the BOA and our profession. We face an era of mounting service pressures, lengthening waiting lists, limited opportunities for trainees and trainers, and difficulty with pension and finances and premature burn out. The need for strong BOA Council has never been greater. NHS and professional pressures adversely affecting surgical practice require decisive action. I am organised, hardworking, and vocal when needed, and will stand up for our colleagues, our trainees, our researchers, our profession and our patients. n
