We recently moved all the way next door! After lots of planning and hard work, our brand new premises were opened at 50 Fulham Road. The space is custom designed and purpose-built for our practise, and we can’t wait to enjoy our new home for years to come.

Dr Levi Morse has recently been involved as faculty at various shoulder conferences. He returned as faculty to the Royal North Shore Symposium in Sydney, presenting on his approach in the management of rotator cuff and biceps pathology. He was also part of only a select group of shoulder surgeons across Australia invited to be trained in the “Mixed Reality Glenoid Guidance” technique in Sydney. This is very exciting and cutting edge surgery (incorporating intra-operative virtual reality technology) that Dr Morse will be using to improve accuracy and patient outcomes in Shoulder Replacement patients.

Dr Morse continues to participate in volunteer work in PNG through Orthopaedic Outreach, the humanitarian arm of the Australian Orthopaedic Association (www.orthoreach.org). He completed 2 trips during 2023, with ongoing bi-annual trips planned. Both trips in 2023 were to Wewak, the capital of the East Sepik Province. The primary aim was to assist Dr Jenny Tovu, a local PNG surgeon who completed an observership with Dr Morse in late 2022. A week was spent for each trip to provide teaching, education and Orthopaedic services.

Dr Morse recently hosted Dr Jenny Tovu, a PNG Surgeon, for 3 months in Townsville. Dr Tovu was required to complete an overseas observership as part of her local Orthopaedic studies. It was a pleasure hosting Jenny, and Dr Morse plans to visit her home-town (Wewak, PNG) to volunteer in 2023.

Dr Levi Morse was recently invited as faculty to participate in a teaching session for other Orthopaedic Surgeons. Other faculty members included Dr Malhas from Reading UK, and Dr Jens Agneskirchner from Hannover, Germany.

Dr Levi Morse was recently successful in receiving Australian Orthopaedic Association (AOA) accreditation for an Upper Limb Fellowship in Townsville. In partnership with the Orthopaedic Research Institute of Queenland (ORIQL), Dr Levi Morse is chief supervisor for the Fellowship.

A fellowship allows Orthopaedic Surgeons from Australia and elsewhere who have recently completed their training to receive additional sub-specialty experience working with Dr Morse.

Further information on the fellowship is available in the ‘FELLOWSHIP’ section of our website.

Dr Morse was recently invited to visit San Diego and Sacramento, California, to undertake an intensive visitation with two prominent Orthopaedic Sports Surgeons. He was fortunate to be able to assist the surgeons with numerous shoulder and knee arthroscopic procedures, and perform those procedures in cadaveric labs, learning valuable techniques to assist his practice in Townsville.
