Mrs Dominique Davidson
Consultant Hand Surgeon
BA, MA, BMBCh, FRCS (Plas), DPhil.
Specialises in
I undertook medical training in Oxford and later returned to do my DPhil research into the genetic basis of hand deformities. I underwent a full training in plastic surgery in Bristol, Oxford and London.
From an early stage, I concentrated on hand surgery and to this end I did a hand fellowship in the Windsor Hand Clinic. During my first consultant post as a plastic surgeon in the Canniesburn Unit of Glasgow Royal Infirmary I had a major interest in hand surgery. In 2005 I was appointed lead hand consultant of the Regional Hand Service in St John's Hospital, and since then, to my delight, my entire practice has consisted of hand and wrist surgery. In my NHS post, I covers all aspects of hand/wrist pathology and trauma. My private practice and medicolegal work cover the same.
Throughout my career I have been extensively involved with many diverse research projects, and have published widely in peer-reviewed journals. One of my main current interests is in the development of new treatments for Dupuytren's disease, and I am currently Principal Investigator for the RIDD Trial in Edinburgh (one of only two UK centres to be involved).

Personal profile
In the midst of an enjoyable surgical career in England, I had the fortune of meeting and marrying a Scot. Now an honorary Edinburghian, albeit of Irish descent, I am doing my best to bring up three children in the tartan tradition. Unfortunately, old habits die hard - the house is split during the Six Nations.
