Launch of National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science

Six major dance organisations, universities and a hospital unite to launch the first National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science

On Monday 30 April over 200 dance professionals join dance medicine and science leaders at the Royal Society of Medicine to celebrate the opening of the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science.

The National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science (NIDMS) provides a radical new approach to dancers’ healthcare which is one of the most pressing problems facing the growing industry. Injury treatment costs the subsidised dance sector on average £900,000 a year and £1 million in lost time. This problem impacts the entire industry.

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity has launched its Redevelopment Appeal website.

The appeal, which is supported by The Duke of York and Princess Eugenie, aims to raise £15 million to design and construct a truly world-class, innovative healthcare environment that will bring real improvements in the quality of our care and transform the lives of our patients.

RNOH is the largest orthopaedic hospital in the UK and regarded as a leader in the field of orthopaedics both in the UK and world-wide. We provide a comprehensive range of neuro-musculoskeletal healthcare, ranging from acute spinal injuries to orthopaedic medicine and specialist rehabilitation for chronic back sufferers. This broad range of neuro-musculoskeletal services is unique within the NHS.

RNOH also plays a major role in teaching. Over 20% of all UK orthopaedic surgeons receive training at the RNOH. Our patients benefit from a team of highly specialised consultants, many of whom are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise.

Our clinical effectiveness is enhanced by our working in partnership with University College London and in particular UCL’s Institute of Orthopaedic and Musculoskeletal Science which is based on the Stanmore campus. The IOMS, together with the RNOH, has a long track record of innovative research leading to new devices and treatments for some of the most complex orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions.
