Bone and Joint Centre, Liverpool

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with the Bone and Joint Centre - the UK's leading specialist orthopaedic healthcare provider. They are based in Liverpool, where they have good links with our original partners at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
Their founder, Mr John Davidson, has attended our last meetings, speaking at the 4th International Workshop on AKU, and taking part in a panel discussion at the 5th International Workshop on AKU.
Mr Davidson has good experience with treating AKU patients, having been involved in many joint replacement operations due to alkaptonuria. He is a key partner in our plans to bid for a National AKU Centre in Liverpool, turning the Royal Liverpool University Hospital into a Centre of Excellence for AKU.
If you have any concerns over a forthcoming AKU joint replacement surgery, Mr Davidison is happy to help - please contact him through the AKU Society, oliver@akusociety.org
The Bone and Joint Centre website is at: www.boneandjointcentre.com
If you liked the work we are doing here, why don't you donate to help us continue, and
remember to check back regularly for updates.
