As part of his role at The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, Mr Kosuge provides orthopaedic trauma services aimed at treating patients who have sustained injuries and fractures affecting their upper and lower limbs. Whilst Mr Kosuge enjoys elective hip surgery and knee surgery, he also enjoys looking after patients who have broken their bone(s). During his trauma duties, he performs surgery to fix broken bones affecting various parts of the body and he finds this variety stimulating.

In recognition of this and his educational interests, Mr Kosuge is extremely proud to have been a member of faculty at the recently run AO Trauma Blended Course - Basic Principles of Fracture Management held in Leeds, UK. This was his second time at this annually held national course which is aimed at educating trainee orthopaedic surgeons. Mr Kosuge enjoys being involved in the training of orthopaedic surgeons in the work setting on a daily basis but also finds fulfilment in teaching on more formal platforms such as this.

Mr Kosuge hopes to have a long career with AO Trauma and with the education of future orthopaedic surgeons.

Amplitude is the leading supplier of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) to both the NHS and private healthcare sector in the UK.

Mr Kosuge has been a subscriber to Amplitude’s Pro One system for over 8-years and uses it to monitor the outcomes of and obtain feedback from his post-operative patients. He finds the feedback invaluable in helping him shape his clinical practice.

Mr Kosuge was recently interviewed by Amplitude to discover why he uses this system and how it benefits him and his patients. Below are some of the patient feedback that Mr Kosuge has received from this system:

‘Past experience with this surgeon, both by myself and by my wife gives me every confidence in him and his team.’

‘I am very impressed with how reassuring Mr Kosuge was prior to surgery, and his genuine interest in patient’s recovery.’

‘I have recommended Mr Kosuge to friends and family in my opinion he is a top surgeon with a very approachable manner. I was fully aware of all the facts of my procedure.’
