I would like to express my gratitude to the team at the British Elbow and Shoulder Society for their support and commitment during my term as President.

It has been an unbelievable honour to serve in the role and I am delighted to pass over the reigns to Professor Rangan, shoulder surgeon at the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesborough. Professor Rangan also Chairs the Research Committee for the British Orthopaedic Association and moves from his current role as Vice President for BESS to President for the coming year.
