A trainee-led collaborative research organisation

Created to support those undertaking research in Tayside, and to promote collaborative working within and outside the deanery. TORC provided funding for departmental research, as well as hosting the annual Tayside Orthopaedic Research Collaborative Conference (TORCC).

Held once each year, the event allows all trainees as well as foundation doctors, medical students, and other colleagues who have carried out research in the department to present their research. The day is also host to guest speakers from various institutions. It is an event that we like to promote, and anyone, from any rotation is welcome to attend, submit work for review, and most importantly, meet and learn from all those who are attending.
