A message from the ISHA 2022 Programme Chair

Dear ISHA Friends, Greetings and hope all of you are gearing up for the most awaited trip to Scotland later this year. Preparations are in full swing at our end to ensure that you have the best academic and social experience after two years of a hiatus due to COVID-19. On the academic side, we have had a record number of abstract submissions totalling 359 in the first round, and more importantly, we have had a record number of reviewers volunteering to review these abstracts, which has allowed us to create a database of reviewers as well for future congresses. We have also been able to get each abstract reviewed by three independent reviewers to ensure we have the best research presented at the meeting. Depending on the score of each abstract, they will be categorised into: Long oral podium presentation – 5 minutes, 3 minutes for discussion Short oral podium presentation – 3 minutes, 2 minutes for discussion Just-a-minute presentation (JAM) – 1 minute ePoster presentation – which will take the form of an Infographic Technique presentation – 5 minutes, 3 minutes for discussion We are aiming to inform all the authors of the outcome of their submissions by the 20th of this month.

We have a similar situation on the ICL front – 66 ICLs submitted for a maximum of 20 slots. Our scientific committee is reviewing them currently and we aim to include as many of them as possible for the meeting and may have to combine a few groups to ensure we are able to cover the wide range of topics submitted. Rest assured they will be of high scientific quality, and we will ensure diversity and parity in subject and geographical distribution.

The instructional component of the programme, therefore, will include the usual diversity of key opinion leaders, local and international speakers, and we will be continuing our relationship with many of the Partner Societies who have put on such fantastic sessions in the past. The other aspect of the Instructional Programme will take the form of ICLs, debates, two live surgery sessions, cadaver, model and ultrasound courses, Ask the Expert session and three plenary lectures.

The Presidential Lecture will be delivered on Saturday morning. Our fantastic invited speaker will be announced next week. Messers Mike Voight from the USA and Amir Takla from Australia have worked hard on the Physiotherapy programme, which will be delivered on the Wednesday, and a special hands-on clinical examination course as well following the Congress. On the social side, we have a Scottish surprise for you at the Opening Ceremony on Thursday and then the traditional ISHA Welcome Reception at the Glasgow Science Centre the same evening.

We have planned the ISHA Gala Dinner on the Friday evening at the magnificent Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery. It houses one of Europe’s great art collections and is the most popular visitor attraction in Scotland and the most visited museum in the United Kingdom outside London. The purpose-built museum opened in 1901. The scope of the museum is wide ranging, and it is organised into two halves: Life and Expression. The Life galleries represent natural history, human history, and prehistory. The Expression galleries include the fine art collections. A significant part of the paintings collection comes from the bequest of Archibald McLellan. It will certainly be an evening to remember!

A bus tour of Glasgow has been arranged for those interested on the Saturday afternoon post-Congress. There are multiple tour options available for exploring the Highlands and the best of Scotland over the weekend and beyond via the Congress website. https://oaandgap.eventsair.com/isha-2022/ Finally, I must add, this feat is no accomplishment of just one individual. Tireless support from the ‘ISHA Queen’, Caroline MacKenzie, all the members at the ISHA Head Office, the guiding hand of the President, Al Stubbs, my partner in crime Mr. Sanjeev Patil, the 13 members on the Scientific Committee and yourselves, our immensely supportive membership, are and will be the reasons why Glasgow 2022 will be an unforgettable story. I truly believe that magical Scotland is the perfect place to bring you all together as colleagues, teachers, students, and friends. The state-of-the-art venue, perfect surroundings, hopefully good weather, and the culture of the city are sure to be a stimulating and comfortable environment to educate, be educated, advance science and network in. See you all in October! Warm regards, Vikas Khanduja MA (Cantab), MSc, FRCS (Orth), PhD Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Addenbrooke’s – Cambridge, UK President – British Hip Society Programme Chair – ISHA 2022
