At FORTE, we are also committed to advocating for the profession of orthopaedics and trauma surgery at the European level. Your membership fee enables us to engage with policymakers, healthcare professionals, and institutions such as the UEMS (European Union of Medical Specialities) to influence important decisions that affect the quality of care, surgical practices, and patient outcomes across Europe. With your support, we can ensure that our voices are heard and that orthopaedic and trauma surgery remain a priority in European healthcare systems.
