The mission of EPOS is to enhance the quality of care for children with orthopaedic conditions. Conducting scientific research plays an important part in this mission: to drive innovation, to find better and new ways to treat patients, and ultimately to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. In this special episode, host Darius Rad is joined by the members of the EPOS Scientific Committee to speak about the importance of scientific research and how to get a research project off the ground: from the initial motivation and idea all the way to getting a research project funded.
