I was appointed Senior Lecturer In Orthopaedics and Trauma with Honorary Consultant status in 1977, to both the London Hospital as it then was and to Newham Health District. The Sports Medicine Diploma started in 1981; the College then created an Academic Department of Sports Medicine of which I was Director until 2001 and remain an Honorary Lecturer within that department since partial retirement.

 

Over that time my involvement became to a large extent Injury and Sports Injury. The Sports Medicine course became demanding of time. Initially it was a Diploma of the London Hospital Medical College. When the College established an Academic Department I then got the Diploma accepted as a University of London Diploma (at a time when there was the specialty of Sports Medicine was regarded with less enthusiasm than even now). Some years later I got University to accept an MSc.

 

I was a founder member of the British Association for the Surgery of the Knee (BASK) and hosted some of the early meetings at the London. I joined the International Knee Society and served on committees; it amalgamated with the Arthroscopy Society to form the International Society of Arthroscopy Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS). I served on the Education Sub-committee and was pleased the Royal London was recognised as an International Training Centre.

 

I was invited to put my name forward for election to the Chairmanship of BASM (the British Association of Sports and Medicine) and was elected, during which time I re-wrote the constitution to put the organisation on a modern footing. During this time we were able to sell the Journal to BMJ.

 

I served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery for a full term; I was also on the editorial board of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research and I continue to review for the British journal of Sports Medicine.

 

My early academic interest was in bone healing and was invited by the University of Pennsylvania to a meeting looking at the stimulation of bone healing by mimicking the electrical potentials naturally occurring in stressed or healing bone. I became the only UK participant in a multicentre trail of the technique. In 1981 I was invited by the CRM/CREST scientific committee of the EU to host a meeting in London to evaluate the potential for the acceleration of normal bone healing through similar methods, which  led to the COMAC_BME study group funded by the EU to look at assessment of the end point of bone healing, of which I was part for eight years. We published the only randomised, controlled , double blind trial in the electrical stimulation of non-union.

 

There were parallels to these responses in soft tissue and I supervised and funded the M Phil by Dr S N Al-Sarraj comparing the tissue response to Carbon Fibre and High Density Polyethylene in knee ligament injury (UL 1988). This work eventually led to the research program ”A Novel Anterior Cruciate Ligament Substitute” funded (£540000) by Smith and Nephew, the EPSRC and the DTI under the auspices of the LINK Bio-Medical Materials government initiative. The partners were the Medical College, the IRC in Bio-medical materials at QMW (as it was) and Smith and Nephew. This work produced three PhDs. It also led to me being invited onto the LINK Bio-Medical Materials Program subcommittee. We evaluated new applications under that head and then monitored the progress of funded programs. The usual endpoint was the integration of the research with development in SMEs (Small to Medium Enterprises).

 

Over that time I supervised M Phil and PhDs along with very many MSc projects. I have examined PhDs for Imperial College and UL, MD for Aberdeen and MCH Orth for Aberdeen plus the Sports Medicine Diplomas for the Apothecaries. I have lectured extensively during that time but highlights have been an instructor on the Oceania Olympic Committee educational program and invited to be the guest lecturer for the Australian Knee Society at their combined meeting in New Zealand, when I also gave invited papers to their combined Orthopaedic Associations meeting in 2001. I gave two of the only five podium papers(out of 216) from the UK at the last ISAKOS meeting in Auckland 2003.
