Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
The NHS can benefit significantly from the skills and experience of that armed forces spouses and families can bring.
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital has received a Gold award certificate under the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme for confirming its continuing support for the Armed Forces community. We are also accredited as Veteran Aware hospital and play a leading role in the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance.
The scheme encourages employers to demonstrate support for the Armed Forces community and the Armed Forces Covenant and inspire others to do the same. As a Gold award holder, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital promotes itself as Armed Forces friendly, supporting those who serve or have served the country. The Trust actively promotes the contribution of Reservists and offers them the flexibility to take time out of their civilian role for training and deployment.
About us
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust (RNOH) is the largest orthopaedic hospital in the UK, and is regarded as a leader in the field of orthopaedics both in the UK and world-wide. As a national centre of excellence, the RNOH treats patients from across the country, many of whom have been referred by other hospital consultants for second opinions or for treatment of complex or rare conditions. Patients benefit from a team of highly specialised consultants, many of whom are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise and experience. Consultants are supported in their work by nurses, therapists and other specialist clinical staff who are trained and are experts in their particular fields of orthopaedic care. The RNOH plays a major role in teaching, 20% of all UK orthopaedic surgeons receive training here. Our teaching and clinical effectiveness are enhanced by our work in research and development and our academic links with University College, London.
