RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The involvement of the orthopaedic unit in clinical research has many benefits for Northern Tasmania. Importantly it results in improved patient outcomes, shaped clinical guidelines and has positive impacts on the culture of clinical care. Professionally it has fostered collaboration with colleagues around Australia, retained and engaged clinicians in our unit and encouraged medical students to be involved in research. This presentation will highlight some of the many research projects the orthopaedic unit has been involved in. There will be discussion from using steroids to improve post operative pain, blood injections for knee arthritis to robotic joint replacement.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
