My surgical practice includes traumatic injuries to hand/wrist and elective hand/wrist surgery including small joint replacements, thumb CMC joint replacement, wrist arthroscopy procedures, Dupuytren's disease, hand and wrist arthritis, nerve disorders and tendon surgery.
I qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2010 and completed an MSc in Surgical Practice in 2015. I completed a nationally competitive advanced training programme - hand and wrist surgery fellowships in Leeds, which is recognised by the British Society for Surgery of the Hand. I completed two further fellowships in hand and peripheral nerve surgery at Leeds and Chelsea and Westminster.
I have obtained postgraduate certifications in hand surgery from both British Society for Surgery of the Hand and the European Board of Hand Surgery.Â
