Access Underwater Ltd are a specialist underwater, diving and confined space contractor with almost 100 years combined commercial diving experience. Our company was born from a desire to centralise and coordinate the extensive diving, confined space, and restricted access experience and capabilities of our founding team members into a single solution provider. With a wealth of underwater; offshore construction, inspection, fabrication, engineering, military, emergency service and recreational/technical/cave diving/instructional backgrounds, combined with an extensive list of television/film credits, we believed that our clients would be better served by having one solution provider for their underwater access requirements, trained to the most exacting industry standards and practiced in almost every aquatic environment imaginable. We are registered with the HSE as a Diving Contractor and comply fully with The Diving at Work Approved Codes of Practice for Inshore Commercial and Media Diving (revised December 2014) and The Diving At Work Regulations 1997. About Access Underwater Despite clients often becoming overwhelmed with high running costs for their facilities, pool, plant and filming budgets, there is still a growing demand for professional and creative services to address outside-the-box, diving and restricted access projects. Clients require a dedicated service provider who can bring together all of their service, maintenance, access and creative requirements, make them affordable and offer cost-saving solutions. Utilising skill-sets forged from an impressive portfolio of projects including marine salvage, offshore oil and gas, wind farms, media productions and commercial pool facilities, Access Underwater is proud to offer such a service through our friendly, knowledgeable and highly-skilled personnel. Our team members bring their skills and expertise to your project honestly, affordably and with the highest regard for safety. We maintain a loyal, satisfied and expanding client base and look forward to discussing how we can help bring solutions to your project. Access Underwater’s Vision We aspire to be the gold standard* in our industry and want our clients to feel completely at ease knowing that they are in the safest, most professional hands. We enjoy close working relationships with all of our clients, who know we are completely dedicated to the successful completion of their projects and exploring all possibilities to deliver solutions that are right for them individually. From the very beginning, we have put honesty and complete transparency at the heart of what we do and continue to ensure that we are not only offering the best value for money but also sensible and intelligent solutions that will themselves pay dividends in the long-term. Access Underwater’s Gold Standard We noticed that during the design process with our logo, the abbreviation by which we have become known by our clients (AU) is the symbol for gold in the periodic table of elements. With this in mind, we decided immediately that the Vitruvian Diver in our logo would be crowned with a gold standard diving helmet to represent this gold standard of workmanship.

The first BOA Training and Education Strategy document was published in 2012. It set out an action centred approach to development work across four community domains and eleven projects. A year later we have taken the opportunity to refresh the strategy in the light of work completed, and some new initiatives reflecting the ever changing dynamic of surgical training and education. The BOA focuses its training and education resources on: Development of the T&O specialty training curriculum. Construction and delivery of an annual trainee instructional course, geared to a four year FRCS (Tr and Orth) cycle. Awards of fellowships and prizes. CESR courses for SAS surgeons aspiring to gain entry to the specialist register. Delivery of training the trainer and educational supervisor instructional courses. Delivery of MSK clinical assessment skills courses for those in Core Training. Revalidation of all T&O surgeons through our annual Congress with a series of clinical and other instructional content geared to a five year cycle. The development of our e-learning capability for both specialty training and broader revalidation purposes. The need for continuing pace The shape and diversity of the healthcare work force is evolving rapidly: all elements are doing more with less in order to contain NHS expenditure at a sustainable level. T&O in particular faces a unique set of challenges and the BOA has developed an action plan through which to address them: full details are contained in our Practice Strategy. Focused on high quality care for patients against the backdrop of a 15% and growing capacity gap in elective orthopaedics, the action plan highlights the need for better patient pathways, enhanced implant surveillance, strong partnerships between providers of acute care, multidisciplinary teams working seamlessly across the primary and secondary care divide, and clinical culture change within the T&O community. All this needs to be instilled in surgeons from the outset of their careers, and the challenge for the BOA as a Surgical Specialty Association is to identify, recruit, educate and nurture the best talent from medical schools and throughout their formative and specialty training in order to create sufficient: High quality T&O capacity with surgical capability in depth to meet future demand. Future clinical academic capacity to sustain the UK’s T&O research capability. The rationale for this is set out in the BOA Research Strategy In addition, we need to: Care better for our patients throughout their treatment pathways by engaging effectively and productively with General Practitioners, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals with an interest in orthopaedics. Accordingly we continue to broaden the scope of our training and education work. This will be essential if we are to encompass more fully the needs of the T&O community and the wider musculoskeletal multi-disciplinary team. Achieving this through an action centred, project based approach to Training and Education .
