The Royal Orthopaedic Charity (ROC) supports life-changing care at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, whether that’s funding the latest technology, supporting research, or helping patients to have the best experience of care.

The charity has been renamed ROC, Royal Orthopaedic Charity, and given a fresh new identity to reflect the dynamic and life-changing work they support. The new brand was developed using the feedback of patients and local people; with bright colours and modern lines, the new identity reflects the charity today, and helps ROC stand out as they raise vital funds to support the hospital.

Ali Sprason, Charity Manager at ROC, said: “We were formerly called ‘The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Charitable Fund’, which is a bit of a mouthful! So, we’ve undergone a transformation. A new name, a new brand, but the same important mission; to support life-changing care at Birmingham’s Royal Orthopaedic Hospital.
