| The advancement of education and the advancement of health. | |
| To promote excellence in orthopaedic and trauma care in Scotland for the benefit of the people of Scotland and global health.

To respond to requests for information on matters relating to orthopaedics and trauma in Scotland from the Scottish Parliament. To particularly consider professional practice and service provision, including clinical governance and quality issues, but also to act as a forum for discussion of issues in education and training (whilst recognising that the responsibility for these elements lies with other bodies). To support ongoing service development in collaboration with Scottish Orthopaedics Service Development Group (SOSDG) and the national Centre for Sustainable Delivery (CfSD). To act as a central reference point in data collection, both for staffing and workload (with projected changes), and to act as an umbrella organisation for structures such as the Scottish Arthroplasty Register.

| Achievements and performance | Achievements and performance |
|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period |
|
| During this period, SCOT successfully arranged and held their Summer Conference at Dunblane Hydro Hotel on 6thSeptember 2024. The 2025 Winter Conference was organised to be held in January at Crieff Hydro Hotel. Unfortunately, due to a red weather warning affecting a significant portion of Scotland, the conference had to be moved to an on- line format at very short notice. Despite this setback, the meeting was well attended on-line. Most meeting sponsors and Crieff Hydro Hotel were understanding of the difficult situation we were placed in due to the weather, allowing most sponsor monies and hotel booking payment (minus £5,000) to be carried forward to the Winter 2026 Conference. |

Financial review
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any) |
It is the object of the charity to maintain reserves at a level that ensures the day-to-day operations can continue and that liabilities can be met. |
|---|---|
| All trustees of the charity are volunteers and donate their time freely. |
APPENDIX 1
Other optional information
| Future plans | SCOT will organise and run a Summer Conference (online meeting, 12th September 2025) and a Winter Conference (23-24thJanuary 2026, Crieff Hydro Hotel). We will continue to liaise closely with orthopaedic trainees to support their education. For example, SCOT has enabled an in-person orthopaedic trainees meeting to be held at Dunblane Hydro Hotel in September 2025 to proceed. SCOT provided the £1,250 deposit required for the meeting, arranged by STOTS (Scottish Trauma and Orthopaedics Trainees Symposium). We will continue to promote close ties with orthopaedic colleagues in the rest of the UK, with a keynote speech from Amar Rangan (president, British Orthopaedic Association) at the Winter 2026 conference. |

| The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. |
|||||||||
| My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts. |
|||||||||
| In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |
