The rebrand represents a new broader spectrum of work in all aspects of Trauma and Orthopaedics, across Northern Ireland.
TORC aims to improve the lives of all patients with musculoskeletal injury or disease in Northern Ireland, through focusing on research, education and support for both patients and staff.
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Owen Diamond, says, “As a trustee of TORC, I am excited that the new name represents the wider range of patients and musculoskeletal research we can support.”
Previously the charity was limited to providing funding for research projects into joint replacement at Musgrave Park Hospital but now TORC will widen the assistance the charity is able to undertake, by providing funding into projects in each of the five Health Trusts across the country.
