Horder Healthcare Travelling Bursaries for HEKSS T&O HST trainees
Charles Gallannaugh MS FRCS FRCSE
In 1935 Charles was born in Surrey. He was educated at Epsom College, and then went to St Thomas' Hospital to study medicine. After qualifying in 1961, Charles developed an interest in orthopaedic surgery and trained at Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Hospital and in due course Guy's Hospital. After successful completion of training, he was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon to St George's Hospital, London in 1974.
In 1980 he decided to move to Hastings where the demand for joint replacement surgery was very great. He became a member of the Council of the British Orthopaedic Association, President of the Orthopaedic Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, Regional Advisor in Orthopaedic Surgery to the Royal College of Surgeons and Chairman of the South East Thames Regional Orthopaedic Specialist Sub-committee and Orthopaedic Higher Training Committee.
In February 1985, Charles was asked by the president of the British Orthopaedic Association to become involved in a government initiative to reduce orthopaedic waiting lists. Charles ran a small pilot project at Hastings; however, this was unsustainable, and a radical new approach was required. In November 1985, Charles came up with the unconventional idea of using The Horder Centre's facilities to carry out NHS work. Charles performed the first operation at The Horder Centre on 28"October 1989 and became the first Surgical Director in 1993 and now The Horder Centre performs approximately 5000 orthopaedic procedures per year and is the largest provider of joint replacements in the South East.
In 2002 he was awarded Honorary Membership of the Section of Orthopaedics of the Royal Society of Medicine and in 2008 the status of Fellow Emeritus of the British Association for Surgery of the Knee of which he was a founder member. Charles' clinical practice ceased in 2005 although he remained on the Board of Directors of Horder Healthcare until he retired as a Director of the Company in the Spring of 2018. In respect of Charles' 30 years of service to The Horder Centre and Orthopaedic Surgery in the South East, the Board of Directors of Horder Healthcare were keen to set up a bursary in his name to help support training in Kent, Surrey and Sussex for future Orthopaedic Surgical trainees.
Horder Healthcare wish to sponsor three annual travelling bursaries to be awarded to Trauma and Orthopaedic HST trainees within the HEKSS Deanery.
Horder Healthcare is a registered charity and a dynamic and evolving healthcare organization that is truly improving the health outcomes of the people in the communities we serve. As a charity Horder Healthcare's key purpose is 'to advance health'. We currently achieve this through providing outstanding orthopaedic and musculoskeletal (MSK) services from our hospitals, The Horder Centre in Crowborough, East Sussex and The McIndoe Centre in East Grinstead, West Sussex and from out-patient facilities at Tunbridge Wells, Seaford and Eastbourne.
As a Healthcare Charity working within Orthopaedic Surgery and MSK services which are keen to support the future of Orthopaedic Surgery and to facilitate training opportunities for HEKSS HST Orthopaedic Trainees.
To assist these aims we are delighted to be allowed by HEKSS to sponsor two annual European Travelling Bursaries and one annual International Travelling Bursary for HEKSS Orthopaedic Higher Specialist Trainees. These Bursaries will be awarded annually by the Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgical Regional Faculty under the direction of the Training Programme Directors.
The two Horder Healthcare European Travelling Bursaries are aimed at allowing ST4 and ST5 trainees to travel within Europe to either attend European Centres of excellence to gain knowledge, experience and different cultural perspectives within Orthopaedic Surgery or present original research within Orthopaedic Surgery at European International Meetings. These bursaries will be for £2500 each.
The Horder Healthcare International Travelling Bursary is aimed at allowing ST6 or ST7 trainees to travel internationally to attend Orthopaedic Centres of excellence to gain knowledge, experience and different cultural perspectives within Orthopaedic Surgery. This bursary will be for £9000 and should allow the successful trainee to gain significant career enhancing experiences. Our Board of Directors may wish to name this Bursary after one of our current Board of Directors who has been key in developing the Horder Centre over the last 40 years.
Apart from the bursaries bearing our name, and the successful trainees being restricted to Trauma and Orthopaedic HST trainees working within HEKSS, we do not wish to place any other restrictions on how the T&O Faculty award these bursaries.
However, we would like the successful trainees to be invited to attend and present feedback of their experiences at the Horder Centre Medical Advisory Committee Meetings.
