TEACHING, RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

I regularly deliver teaching sessions to General Practitioners, Physiotherapists and Osteopaths on common hand conditions and treatments. I have run courses in hand surgery, and have presented at various conferences, both at local, national and international level, and I am a visiting lecturer at Aston University in Birmingham.

Articles I have written have been published in medical journals and I have been involved in research projects, such as “The Molecular Genetics of Dupuytren’s Disease”, and “Cultivated Autologous Osteoblasts and Chondrocytes for Treatment of Non-Union and Chondral Defects”.

I was involved in national hand-surgery-related trials and I ran an international multi-centre drug trial centred on the safety and efficacy of Capsaicin.

CURRENT CLINICAL & MEDICOLEGAL ACTIVITY

Having worked in general Trauma & Orthopaedics for 20 years, I chose to specialise exclusively in hand, wrist and elbow procedures, which I have done for the last 10 years. I have on average 1800 patient episodes per year, which includes consultations and various procedures.

I am a member of BSSH (The British Society for Surgery of the Hand) and WMHS (West Midlands Hand Society). I attend scientific meetings regularly, usually 3-4 times a year to keep myself up to date. In addition, I regularly attend various courses and webinars on specific hand surgery related topics.

Recently I have been involved in reviewing the clinical practice of a colleague in hand surgery, which has consisted of report writing and engaging with the solicitors working on the case.

I have attended the Bond Solon courses “Excellence in Report Writing”, “Courtroom Skills”, “Clinical Negligence Essentials Parts 1 & 2” and “Clinical Negligence Update for Expert Witness”.
