abstract="The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated unprecedented change within the NHS. Some medical  staff have been deployed into unfamiliar roles, while others have been exposed to  innovative ways of working. The embedded military Trauma and Orthopaedic (T&O) cadre  have been integral to this change. Many of these new skills and ways of working  learnt will be transferable to deployed environments. Feedback from the T&O military  cadre highlighted key areas of learning as changes in T&O services, use of  technology, personal protective equipment, redeployment and training. This paper  aims to discuss how these changes were implement and how they could be used within  future military roles. The T&O cadre played important roles within their NHS trusts  and the skills they learnt will broaden their skills and knowledge for future  deployments.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
