Activities
As a national centre of excellence, the RNOH treats patients from across the country, many of whom have been referred by other hospital consultants for second opinions or for treatment of complex or rare conditions.
The RNOH is closely associated with University College London (UCL) and the UCL Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Science occupies the same site. Other research departments connected with the RHOH include the Centre for Disability Research and Innovation, the Institute of Human Performance and the Centre for Biomedical Engineering.
The Trust also works closely with other hospitals and has many joint appointments with other Trusts to ensure maximum availability of specialist skills for patients. Patients of the Trust also benefit from access to the ASPIRE (Association for Spinal Injury Research, Rehabilitation and Reintegration) National Training centre which is located on site and hosts sporting and other facilities for able-bodied and disabled people.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
