How we help
Improve Medical Education in the UK
Improving orthopaedic education is crucial for enhancing healthcare standards and ensuring the well-being of communities.
Our initiative aims to strengthen orthopaedic education at the local level by implementing training, workshops, and mentorship opportunities for healthcare professionals in Yorkshire.
By collaborating with experienced orthopaedic surgeons and medical institutions, we seek to provide hands-on training, theoretical knowledge, and exposure to cutting-edge advancements in Orthopedics. Through these efforts, we aim to cultivate a skilled workforce capable of delivering high-quality orthopaedic care to patients in our community.
Together, let's invest in the future of orthopaedic education, empowering healthcare professionals to excel in their practice and ultimately improving the lives of those in need.
Support Orthopaedic Research
Global Connect provides funding for research in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, focusing on knee surgery.
We gain insights into better surgical techniques, rehabilitation strategies, and the development of cutting-edge treatments through dedicated research efforts.
We support research into consenting by funding studies to understand the nuances and complexities of the consent process. Through financial support, we enable researchers to conduct in-depth investigations into the factors influencing individuals' ability to provide informed consent.
Consenting processes in orthopaedic surgery are essential for upholding ethical standards, enhancing patient safety and satisfaction, improving the quality of care and maintaining patient trust, which is paramount to patient autonomy and safety.
Additionally, we support research to investigate the outcome of Knee replacement procedures, aim to publish evidence-based research and optimise treatment outcomes in the ever-evolving landscape of orthopaedic practice.
We at Global Connect strongly support the efforts of researchers to contribute to orthopaedic research. This enables us to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible, ultimately bringing hope and relief to patients affected by orthopaedic conditions.
Knee Injury Prevention
Global Connect is committed to supporting projects to prevent knee injuries in male and female athletes, focusing on ACL injury prevention strategies for female athletes.
Unfortunately, there has been a recent increase in ACL injuries among young female athletes, which can have severe consequences for young people. Proven prevention strategies exist and need to be widely adopted in the community.
Preventing ACL injuries is crucial for athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities to maintain mobility and prevent long-term complications.
We collaborate with other charities and companies to provide effective prevention training.
Knee Injury Prevention
Implementing comprehensive injury prevention programs focusing on strengthening muscles around the knee, improving balance and coordination, and enhancing agility can significantly reduce the risk of ACL injuries.
These programs often include exercises such as squats, lunges, plyometrics, and balance drills, which help improve neuromuscular control and reduce biomechanical risk factors associated with ACL injuries.
Additionally, proper warm-up and stretching routines and appropriate footwear and equipment play integral roles in injury prevention. Education on adequate landing and cutting techniques and promoting good body mechanics during physical activities further contribute to minimizing the risk of ACL injuries.
By integrating these preventive measures into training regimens and promoting awareness among athletes and coaches, individuals can take proactive steps to safeguard against ACL injuries and maintain their physical well-being.
Medical Education in Tanzania
Improving trauma education in Tanzania is paramount to enhancing the capacity of healthcare professionals to respond effectively to emergencies and save lives.
Our initiative is dedicated to bolstering trauma and orthopaedic education by establishing specialised training, workshops, and simulation exercises tailored to the unique challenges faced in Tanzanian healthcare settings.
We aim to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to triage, stabilise, and treat trauma patients efficiently through partnerships with local medical institutions and international experts.
We work closely with hospitals in Tanzania and focus on ongoing education of health professionals in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.
Please support us in making quality medical education accessible to all, regardless of background or circumstance.
Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for generations to come.

Fight Domestic Violence
Domestic violence victims often find themselves trapped in cycles of abuse, isolated from support networks, and struggling to break free from their perpetrators.
In the face of such harrowing circumstances, Global Connect is dedicated to supporting domestic violence victims and offers beacons of hope and refuge.
