Mr Oliver Adebayo
Oliver Adebayo is currently a Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery Specialist Registrar in the North East London deanery. Oliver graduated from Kings College London in 2013 and undertook his foundation training in the South Thames Foundation School region. He was a London School of Surgery Core Surgical Trainee prior to commencing his speciality training in Trauma and Orthopaedic surgery on the Stanmore Orthopaedic Rotation. He has a subspecialty interest in both limb reconstruction and sports injuries.
Oliver has been passionate about quality improvement and digital transformation throughout his medical career working with companies like Apple and Interneuron on digital platforms. Most recently he was a clinical advisor on the design and implementation of an electronic prescribing and medicines administration platform for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
During his Core Surgical Training, he undertook an MSc in Surgical Innovation from Imperial College London which helped to shape his knowledge and values with regards to improving surgical processes and education with technology. He furthermore developed his interest in global surgery during this time and was a founding member of the Global Anaesthesia, Surgery and Obstetric Collaboration, a trainee-led advocacy group focusing on promoting global surgery research collaboration and trainee opportunities.
In 2021, Oliver became the President of the British Orthopaedic Trainees Association (BOTA) , the largest single speciality trainee organisation with over 1500 members. As President, he worked closely with RCS England, RCSEd, Health Education England as well as other national bodies to ensure that T&O trainees throughout the UK were fully represented, contributing to a number of national initiatives and papers as well as organising the largest single speciality trainee conference ever in 2022.
Reason for applying for the scheme
Oliver is passionate about clinically led leadership within the NHS and believes that this is essential to creating a culture within healthcare that embraces innovation and resourcefulness whilst maintaining a focus on the delivery of safe, efficient and compassionate patient care.
The FMLM clinical fellowship position at NHS England working within the Transformation Directorate will expose Oliver to a range of unique experiences, knowledge and experts which will help develop him into a well-rounded and informed clinical leader. Oliver hopes to continue to gain experience in understanding the challenges faced and the processes required when trying to make changes at a wider organisational level. Furthermore, he hopes to develop key project management and team leadership skills that will be invaluable when returning to clinical practice.
Oliver has a keen interest in digital transformation and during his MSc in Surgical Innovation learned about the innovation methodology and how digital solutions impact on education, quality improvement, and surgical technology. Having also been a part of the Clinical User Experience (UX) Design Academy programme, he is keen to help translate the knowledge learned into practice, taking the opportunity to work with experts from NHS Digital and NHS X to augment and commission digital solutions which enable efficiency in patient interaction and clinical management.
