Dear BESS members 2012 has been another successful year for BESS. We now have 538 members, 25% of whom represent the Allied Health Professional Community, the remainder being principally surgeons but also other doctors involved in the care of patients with shoulder and elbow disorders.
We are one of the largest and most successful sub-specialty societies with thriving educational and scientific activities including travelling fellowships, research grants, treatment guidelines, multi-centre clinical trials and our annual meeting.

Pump priming research grantsCall for proposals
The BESS Research Committee now calls for the 2013 applications from BESS members for the awards of a limited number of research grants of up to £3000 each. The purpose of these grants is to encourage clinical research into shoulder and elbow disorders. Proposals should only be for projects that are intended to be on the NIHR portfolio, as this pump priming grant would then allow the grant holder to access research network support to supplement this funding for completion of their project.
