About
Julie Bruce is a leading clinical trialist whose research focuses on surgical outcomes, perioperative care, and the evaluation of innovative technologies in orthopaedics. She is best known for her work designing and leading high-impact randomised controlled trials that assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of surgical interventions. Her major contributions include the RACER-Hip study, a UK-based multicentre randomised controlled trial investigating robotic-assisted total hip replacement versus conventional surgery. This landmark protocol, published in 2023, addresses critical questions around surgical precision, patient recovery, and healthcare resource use, with early citations already reflecting its importance to the field. Bruce’s work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and evidence-based practice, helping to inform national guidelines and NHS commissioning decisions. Her research has been cited over 1,000 times, underscoring its influence on orthopaedic surgery and perioperative medicine. She is also recognised for her methodological rigour in trial design and her commitment to patient-centred outcomes, making her a trusted voice in surgical research. For students and researchers, Bruce exemplifies how pragmatic, well-conducted trials can shape the future of surgical care.
