Mr Alexander Vaughan

I am dual fellowship trained in hand and wrist surgery. My first fellowship was at The Queen Elizabeth and The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospitals, Birmingham. This was a true ortho-plastics fellowship, including microsurgery and hand trauma. My second fellowship was at Guys and St Thomas’ London, a tertiary referral centre with more focus on complex hand and wrist orthopaedic conditions.

I graduated from Imperial College London in 2006, with junior surgical training at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington and also 2 years in Cornwall. I came back to London to complete a Master's degree at Imperial College in Surgical Education, my thesis on Orthopaedic training gained a merit award in 2010. During my junior doctor training I also spent time as a rugby team doctor, judo championship doctor, and as an expedition medic for Mount Kilimanjaro.

I subsequently spent a year at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore before gaining a higher Orthopaedic Training number in the Kent Surrey & Sussex deanery.

I have presented my research work at regional, national and international conferences, winning numerous prizes and I have published my research in peer reviewed journals. I regularly attend National and International conferences to keep up to date with the latest techniques and developments within hand and wrist surgery.

I am the current clinical audit and research lead for Trauma and Orthopaedics at Frimley Park, an educational supervisor and trains aspiring hand and wrist surgeons in the region.
