Location of University of Brighton
The Institute of Postgraduate Medicine (IPGM) will be integrated with Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) in August 2012. BSMS is a joint school of the universities of Brighton and Sussex. Integrating IPGM and BSMS will provide a sustainable basis for the further development of postgraduate medical education, in continued partnership with the KSS Deanery, the University of Brighton's Faculty of Health and local education providers.
As part of this integration, a number of IPGM courses will be redeveloped for joint validation by the universities of Brighton and Sussex. The intention is that the first intake for the new courses will be in September 2012 and the admissions criteria for these will be published in early 2012.
Admissions for this course for 2011 will not be affected by this development and we welcome applications in line with the entry requirements.
This unique course enables specialist registrars to acquire a scientific and analytical approach to orthopaedic practice, and engenders a class of orthopaedic surgeon with a depth and breadth of skills, knowledge and attitude based on a solid foundation of science and clinical expertise.
The postgraduate certificate aims, in exceptional circumstances, to allow those who withdraw from study at the end of one year to exit with an award for demonstrating a limited range of science, clinical skills, service delivery and research awareness.
Career and progression opportunities
This course prepares students well for undertaking the examinations for entry to the Fellowship of Royal College of Surgeons.

Course structure
The course is designed for part-time study and is delivered on Wednesday afternoons each week with 14 mandatory skills days taught throughout the year. The taught component is delivered over a two-year rolling programme with Year 1 and Year 2 students studying modules together. Students will normally be expected to be working as an SpR or in a senior non-training post in trauma and orthopaedics. All applicants will be expected to undertake dissection. Teaching staff are nationally and internationally renowned experts and provide a broad range of learning experiences through lectures, student presentations, group work and discussion. Throughout the course, confirmed employment in relevant clinical activity is crucial in integrating the acquired science and clinical skills into the reality of clinical practice.
Areas of study
The underpinning science for trauma and orthopaedics will cover: gross and microscopic anatomy (presented specifically for this clinical setting); relevant physiology including biochemistry, genetics, biomechanics and bioengineering; the pathology and pathophysiology of both acute and chronic conditions; and a clear focus on treatment options. Studies in clinical and surgical techniques will address in detail both assessment and therapeutic approaches.
