Julie-Lyn Noel is the Director of Education and Research of the EUROSPINE, the Spine Society of Europe leading the education and research programmes. She truly believes in the EUROSPINE education programme’s aim of enabling spine care providers to provide high quality spine care. She is convinced that this can be achieved in Europe and internationally by transcending borders and languages. Julie-Lyn ensures that this aim can be achieved through the delivery of courses in various formats (including case-based discussions, cadaver lab workshops, simulators and dry lab workshops), collaborations with national societies to harmonise education standards, develop interprofessional collaboration with spine care teams, collaboration with numerous industry partners to educate on their latest technologies, and allowing young spine specialists to have a short-term observership with other spine experts.
Julie-Lyn drives EUROSPINE research fostering a community where spine researchers are supported with the availability of a grant system, highly interactive and intensive research courses and networking activities and opportunities. She is also currently involved with EUROSPINE’s international spine registry, Spine Tango, that documents the effectiveness and safety of spine care, treatment techniques and technologies through EUROSPINE’s unified registry approach to generate a (collective) evidence base for prevention, treatment effectiveness, patient safety, and best practice.
