Centre for Bone and Joint Health

Transforming research, education and care for people with bone and joint disorders and injuries
Our research

We are the largest and busiest orthopaedic department in the country. Our clinical care is based across three hospitals: The Royal London Hospital, Whipps Cross University Hospital and the Barts Health Orthopaedic Centre in Newham.

Our purpose is simple: to improve the health and wellbeing of people with bone and joint disorders and injuries. We focus on conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and tendons.
