Below you will find the last in a series of personal accounts that the BOTA committee has produced on how we were inspired to become orthopaedic trainees. It is our hope that these tales have turned around the issue of recruitment and retention in T&O, an issue we feel very passionately about. Each person who was kind and honest enough to share their personal journey has walked an individual path. They have all overcome their own challenges and setbacks. No one person's story is quite the same and hopefully, for those who have yet to choose their future career, one will ring true. Without the contributors' open and passionate narratives, we would not have this amazing body of work and for that, we are grateful. More importantly, for those of you who are not yet surgical or T&O trainees, I hope that you read these and think that maybe, just maybe, if we can do it…so can you.
