October 2020 \u2013 Monthly BHS Update\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Dear BHS Members\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For our October news update I would like to highlight:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Welcome to Panopto!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n One of the prime functions of the BHS is sharing knowledge and to that end we are\u00a0 delighted to announce a major development in our functionality and capacity, with\u00a0 the launch of the BHS Panopto account. This is a secure portal for hosting and\u00a0 sharing video content; a repository for digital media with excellent technical support.\u00a0 It allows members to view live webcasts and webinars and it has facilities for on\u00a0 demand viewing of content and interaction with the speakers. In the future we will\u00a0 have the capacity for members to record and edit videos from their own computers,\u00a0 opening up enormous possibilities for the sharing of knowledge. The software\u00a0 features a unique search engine that allows the user to filter all content for a word\u00a0 that appears anywhere in speech or written form in all stored media, and many\u00a0 other features, so we would welcome all of you to explore this exciting\u00a0 development!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We have already uploaded to the site the videos recorded at the Instructional\u00a0 Course in Newport 2020 as well as the recordings of our webinars on complex and\u00a0 revision hip networks. We have plans to record all sessions at the next BHS Annual\u00a0 Meeting, giving members the facility to watch the content again on demand, and\u00a0 allowing the BHS to build a lasting record of our educational resources.\u00a0 We will be contacting you shortly with details on how you may access this valuable\u00a0 resource and we hope very much that you enjoy what we feel to be an important\u00a0 advance for our Society. Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Vikas Khanduja and the\u00a0 Education Committee at BHS for their work in introducing this innovative\u00a0 educational feature for the BHS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dual Mobility Components on the NJR\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Last month I attended the Medical Advisory Committee of the NJR during which meeting it was made clear by NJR Medical Director, Tim Wilton, that there is concern\u00a0 over the way that dual mobility cups have been recorded on the registry. This issue is\u00a0 one of incomplete data about the implants used when the cases have been\u00a0 entered, specifically in relation to dual-mobility devices, due, at least in part, to a\u00a0 problem with business rules in the data entry system. The NJR believes that they\u00a0 have solved the problem with data capture on a prospective basis but there is an\u00a0 issue with the retrospective data for implants already recorded. The upshot is that\u00a0 about 1600 cases cannot be used for interpretation of the data, since they have\u00a0 insufficient details about the implant and this clearly results in the potential for\u00a0 misinterpretation of the data concerning dual mobility hips.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After further analysis since the NJR MAC meeting it transpires that most hospitals\u00a0 have very few such cases but some have many.\u00a0 Of course the fact that some\u00a0 hospitals have large numbers of such cases may further introduce the risk of bias as\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n these units may use one specific design, so there is a real need for this data to be\u00a0 cleaned and corrected. The NJR will therefore be writing to the hospitals affected by\u00a0 this issue, asking the clinicians to check and correct the data that has been\u00a0 submitted. I was asked to make you all aware, as leaders of hip surgery within your\u00a0 units, that this communication from the NJR will be forthcoming and they would\u00a0 appreciate the leadership of BHS members in helping to correct the data on dual\u00a0 mobility hips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BHS Webinar Series on Complex and Revision Hip Replacement Networks <\/b>In the coming week we will be holding the third in this series of BHS webinars, on\u00a0 <\/span>Wednesday 7<\/b>th <\/b>October 18:30, entitled \u201cMaking Networks Happen?\u201d <\/b>This session\u00a0 will be chaired by Andrew Hamer and co-hosted by Vikas Khanduja, and they will be\u00a0 joined by Sir Andrew Cash, Chief Executive of South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw ICS and\u00a0 Professor Phil Turner from Manchester and the BOA. The panel will be completed by\u00a0 Andrew Manktelow from Nottingham and the webinar will examine some of the\u00a0 hurdles that may exist to establishing complex surgery networks, particularly\u00a0 focussing on commissioning issues and the experience that panel members have had\u00a0 on establishing networks in their respective areas. We very much hope that you will\u00a0 be able to join us for this discussion and if you would like to register for the meeting\u00a0 you can do so using this link:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_ZvNVVWURTpSrTVCYOdIqbw<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The next in the series, entitled <\/span>\u201cMaking Networks Successful,\u201d <\/b>will then take place\u00a0 on <\/span>Wednesday 4<\/b>th <\/b>November at 18:30 <\/b>and will feature case studies from two\u00a0 different successful networks, from Merseyside and East Midlands, as we continue\u00a0 to explore models of networks that might work for different parts of the country.\u00a0 Also in this session the Research Committee, through Tim Board, will be launching a\u00a0 piece of work that we are planning, to define complexity in revision hip surgery,\u00a0 which we hope will support networks as they develop.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BHS at the BOA Congress 2020\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019d like to thank all of you who downloaded or tuned in to the content that the BHS\u00a0 created for the BOA congress. We will be putting this up on the Panopto site for you\u00a0 to continue to access at your convenience. In total we provided over 4.5 hours of\u00a0 pre-recorded content to the congress, as well as a 90-minute live webinar on re starting elective surgery. In view of the volume of work presented I have added a\u00a0 contents listing, as an easy reference guide, in an appendix to this email to be found\u00a0 below. Once again I would like to sincerely thank all of those who gave up their\u00a0 valuable time to contribute to these sessions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BHS Sponsored Places on the BOA Future Leaders Programme\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n As I have previously mentioned in these emails the BHS Executive Committee decided that this year we would sponsor a place on the BOA Future Leadership\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Programme, interviews for which took place on Monday 21<\/span>st <\/span>September. The\u00a0 interview panel were impressed by the calibre of applications, and recommended\u00a0 that the BHS should in fact sponsor two outstanding candidates on this programme.\u00a0 My congratulations go to Ms. Joanna Maggs and Mr. Jeya Palan on their excellent\u00a0 interviews and we look forward to hearing about their experiences on the FLP and\u00a0 about their quality improvement projects at a future BHS meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BHS Culture and Diversity Committee\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Following the formation of the BHS Culture and Diversity Committee earlier in the\u00a0 year, several work streams are now underway. One of these focuses on\u00a0 communication, and projection of the Society\u2019s values to the doctors of the future,\u00a0 in a bid to attract a diverse range of applicants into a career in lower limb\u00a0 arthroplasty. As part of this campaign the Committee is looking to publish short\u00a0 video biographies from a diverse group of willing BHS members for our website and\u00a0 social media accounts, in which volunteers would explain why they chose hip surgery\u00a0 and what they enjoy about their work. If you would be interested in taking part we\u00a0 would love to hear from you, so please email <\/span>brithipsocsec@gmail.com<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BHS Annual Meeting 2020\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Many of you will have noticed that at the same time as announcing the \u201crule of six\u201d\u00a0 the government also announced that conferences and meetings would be prevented\u00a0 from taking place for six months, until the end of March 2020. This, of course, means\u00a0 that the proposed dates for BHS 2020, at the beginning of March, cannot go ahead\u00a0 and contingency plans are now being made. As I have said before my preference,\u00a0 and that of almost everyone I discuss this with, is for the BHS meeting to be in\u00a0 person, rather than as a virtual meeting, so we are exploring with our conference\u00a0 organiser a range of possible alternative dates. These will be discussed at the\u00a0 October BHS Executive Committee meeting and I will be announcing further details\u00a0 in my next monthly email.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With best wishes\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jonathan Howell<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October 2020 \u2013 Monthly BHS Update\u00a0 Dear BHS Members\u00a0 For our October news update I would like to highlight:\u00a0 Welcome to Panopto!\u00a0 One of the prime functions of the BHS is sharing knowledge and to that end we are\u00a0 delighted to announce a major development in our functionality and capacity, with\u00a0 the launch of the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1942,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-presidents-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epic-kilby.51-89-237-181.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
