BOTA Membership Now Simpler Through BOA
We’ve streamlined BOTA membership to make it simpler, smarter, and better value for trainees.
From now on, BOTA membership is granted automatically via membership of the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA). As BOTA members ultimately join BOA anyway, this approach removes duplication, reduces admin, and gives you immediate access to the full orthopaedic ecosystem from day one.
Why this is better for you ?
✅ One registration, multiple benefits - By registering once with BOA, you gain:
-

🎓 Access to both major conferences- BOA membership gives you eligibility to:
-

BOA Annual Congress
One membership, two flagship conferences — covering training, innovation, research, and national networking.
🧠 Less paperwork, more progress -removed of standalone BOTA application process:

Lets you focus on training, exams, and career development
