I graduated from the Royal Free and University College London Medical School in 2007 with MBBS and a BSc Hons in Medical Law. After completing specialty training on the University College London Hospital Programme I was awarded subspecialty Hand and Wrist fellowships at the world renowned Wrightington Upper limb Unit and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. In 2018 I undertook a travelling observership to the Institute De La Main, Paris, France and in 2019 I was awarded the Gold Medal for the highest performance in the British Postgraduate Hand Diploma examination.

Q & A
Carpal tunnel syndrome: Symptoms, causes and diagnosis
Mr Michael Elvey, Consultant Orthopaedic Hand and Wrist Surgeon, says carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition affecting the hand. It affects the median nerve, which is one of the primary nerves in the hand that supplies sensation as well as motor control.
Wrist fractures, low thyroid, wrist traumas, and pregnancy are all potential causes. Pain, numbness, and pins and needles are common symptoms that develop gradually.
