Professor Jonathan Rees is the Director of the Botnar Institute for Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford and is Honorary Consultant Orthopaedic Shoulder Surgeon at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre.  

Professor Andrew Carr will step down at the end of March as NDORMS Head of Department after 21 years.
