Professor of Musculoskeletal and Surgical Science
David Beard is Professor of Musculoskeletal and Surgical Sciences at the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) at the University of Oxford, an NIHR Senior Investigator and the Director of the Royal College of Surgeons (RCSEng) Surgical Intervention Trials Unit (SITU-NDORMS). He is also an NHMRC Leadership 3 Fellow and Professor and Surgical/Complex Intervention Trials Program Lead at the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre, Faculty of Medicine and Health, at the University of Sydney.
Initially qualified clinically as a physiotherapist, he has Masters degrees in Biomedical Science (KCL London, and Oxon), a Doctorate in Medicine (Oxon), and honorary fellowships from the Royal College of Surgeons [Eng] (FRCS), and the British Orthopaedic Association (FBOA).
As a clinician scientist, David is a globally recognised expert in the evaluation of surgery and complex medical interventions with a highly active research portfolio, predominantly in the musculoskeletal and ortho-plastics field. He has over 350 published articles (many trial and surgery-related, including 9 in the Lancet).
This lecture will present his recent research on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury management. His extensive work, including the ACL SNNAP trial, has provided valuable insights into the comparative effectiveness of surgical reconstruction versus non- surgical rehabilitation for non-acute ACL injuries. This session will delve into how these findings can inform clinical decision-making and optimise patient outcomes in ACL injury treatment.
