Despite this, the specialty continues to face challenges in recruitment, diversity, inclusivity and perceptions of workload and culture. International literature suggests that impressions formed during undergraduate and early postgraduate training strongly influence specialty choice; however, contemporary UK-specific data on how resident doctors view orthopaedics remain limited. The ORTHO BRO Study is a cross-sectional, anonymous online survey designed to capture UK trainees' perceptions of orthopaedics, compare views between those with and without prior orthopaedic rotations, and explore spontaneous associations. Findings will inform training improvement, inclusivity initiatives, and recruitment strategies.\n\nThe study targets UK foundation doctors (F1/F2), core trainees (CT1/CT2), and trust-grade/non-training senior house officers (SHOs) across multiple trusts/foundation schools."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Foundation Doctors (F1/F2), Core Trainees (CT 1/CT2) and Non-training/Trust-grade senior house officers (SHOs) currently employed in the NHS, regardless of whether they have previously worked or completed a placement in Orthopaedics.', 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Are currently employed within the UK National Health Service (NHS) as a Foundation Year 1 (F1), Foundation Year 2 (F2), Core Training Year 1 (CT1), Core Training Year 2 (CT2) or trust-grade/non-training senior house officer (SHO).\n* Are aged 18 years or older.\n* Are able to read and understand English sufficiently to comprehend the participant information and complete the online questionnaire.\n* Are willing and able to provide electronic informed consent before taking part.\n* Agree to participate voluntarily and understand that participation is anonymous and non-compulsory.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07281560', 'acronym': 'ORTHO BRO', 'briefTitle': 'Opinions, Perceptions, & Thoughts of British Resident Doctors on Orthopaedics', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust'}, 'officialTitle': 'ORTHO BRO: Opinions, Perceptions, & Thoughts of British Resident Doctors on Orthopaedics', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '25ORT278'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Foundation Doctors', 'description': 'Foundation Year 1 and Year 2 doctors currently employed in the NHS'}, {'label': 'Core Trainees', 'description': 'Core Trainees Year 1 and Year 2 currently employed in the NHS'}, {'label': 'Non-training/Trust-grade SHOs', 'description': 'Non-training/Trust-grade Senior House Officers currently employed in the NHS'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
