2016 AUSTRALIAN ORTHOPAEDIC ASSOCIATION (AOA) / NEW ZEALAND ORTHOPAEDIC ASSOCIATION COMBINED ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING
Dear Colleagues from near and afar,
Welcome to the AOA and NZOA combined Annual Scientific Meeting. Our two associations meet every five years and I invite you all to take part in the fun and robust scientific discussions.
Ethics and professionalism needs no introduction. They are core values of medical practice and yet they are constantly being challenged. Modern technology allows surgeons to do so much more, but we must decide what is right. We should act in the interests of our patients, but the interests of the individual, the collective, and other parties are not always the same.
Orthopaedics is a dynamic profession and we must check our standards, our philosophy, how we act, and how we want to be judged. We have invited a number of speakers to explore ethics and professionalism and to examine what we practice and teach.
Our scientific secretaries have selected the best abstracts and assembled a program that should stimulate all of you by presenting new data, revisiting controversial issues, and in some ways improving our practice. As ethical professionals, we should embrace a critical view of what we do.
Tropical Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. We hope you relax in the tropics, enjoy our hospitality and foster orthopaedic friendships.
