Improving the lives for all with musculoskeletal injury or disease in Northern Ireland.

About us

Trauma & Orthopaedics Research Charity (TORC) are a small but ambitious charity based in Musgrave Park Hospital. We work with a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and research staff to continually improve the provision of holistic care for all those with musculoskeletal injury or disease in Northern Ireland. Research: Trauma and Orthopaedics Research Charity’s main aim is to improve the patient experience and outcome of all those undergoing orthopaedic procedures in Northern Ireland. Education: Trauma and Orthopaedics Research Charity facilitates this through organising events to promote research and improve patient care, for example the quarterly patient liaison group, trauma focus groups and monthly orthopaedic research committee meetings. In addition, specific meetings have been organised such as those associated with the new Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) plan. The charity has also supported local anaesthetic workshops and paediatric conferences. Support: The charity has provided funding for the refurbishment of meeting rooms, X-ray storage and office space for staff. This included PCs, an X-ray digitiser, clever touch screen and equipment for research studies such as sawbones, surgical tools and virtual reality kit. In addition, TORC has also donated equipment to Musgrave Park Hospital for clinical use for example patient supports which are used in hip replacement operations.
