Virtual consultations:
I am a consultant in hand and wrist surgery. I was appointed as a consultant at Whiston Hospital in 2012, completing the Mersey deanery training rotation and having merited an honours degree at Liverpool Medical School.
I completed an advanced fellowship in hand and wrist surgery and successfully completed the British diploma in hand surgery in 2012. I have a strong academic background having completed a first class degree in physiology at Liverpool University where I studied calcium signalling in pancreatic acinar cells.
My surgical practice includes traumatic injuries to the upper limb and elective hand/wrist surgery including nerve disorders (carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve procedures), sports injuries, ganglion and cyst excision, degenerative and rheumatoid disorders (small joint and wrist fusion) joint replacement (base of thumb, finger joints, and wrist replacement), Dupuytren's disease (collagenase injection, fasciectomy, and skin grafting), and minimally invasive wrist arthroscopy procedures. I also offer trapeziectomy and CMCJ arthroplasty.
I am responsible for the orthopaedic junior staff at Whiston hospital conducting the induction course and providing training throughout the attachments. I perform over 400 hand and wrist procedures each year.
I am a keen sportsmen and the majority of my leisure time is spent training for Olympic distance triathlon, competing in Chester, Salford, Bala and Cholmondeley events each year. I live locally in Chester with my wife Hilary and daughter Anabelle (Chester Zoo is one of our favourite destinations)! I am a member of the Folio Society for book collections and I have a season ticket at Manchester United.
