Über uns
As a consultant Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon, I have dedicated over a decade to NHS practice. My specialty training was completed in the West of Scotland program in 2012, leading to my consultant role at Sunderland Royal Hospital. In August 2019, I transitioned to James Cook Hospital to join a larger multi-disciplinary hand team, enhancing my operative skills and acquiring new competencies like microsurgical neurovascular repair.
I am an enthusiastic, highly motivated, and organized individual, effective at inspiring others. I firmly believe in the importance of teamwork for the future management of the NHS.
Throughout my Trauma and Orthopaedics career, I have amassed comprehensive experience across the whole specialty of Hand and wrist surgery including hand and wrist trauma and more recent developments in finger and thumb joint replacement.
Through reflective practice, I continuously update my personal practices and knowledge, dedicating time for self-directed learning both at home and during work hours. I participate in internal teaching, journal clubs, courses, and meetings, furthering my postgraduate qualifications.
My communication skills are strong, enabling me to convey information effectively, clearly, and supportively to patients, their families, and healthcare team members. I approach communication with empathy and sympathy, adept at discussing prognosis, risks, and treatment options. The psycho-social and body image issues prevalent among hand surgery patients necessitate an empathetic and inclusive approach, especially when delivering difficult news, such as in cases of attempted replantation.
With years of experience running outpatient clinics, I have honed my consultation skills to ensure patient comprehension while maintaining clinic efficiency. Reflecting on patient cases with senior colleagues enhances both my learning and that of my peers.
Clinical Effectiveness: My clinical effectiveness is evidenced by my portfolio, which encompasses regular appraisals and revalidation. During my training, I was assessed through the RITA system, alongside maintaining records of my clinical and academic accomplishments.
Good Medical Practice: Following the GMC's introduction of practice codes for all doctors, it is crucial to reflect on these standards, evaluate them against my own practices, and endeavor to enhance patient care. I participated in the 'Good Clinical Practice' course in Glasgow, February 2010, with a subsequent update in 2019, and attended the 'Professional and Ethical Challenges in Medical Practice' course by the MDU in London, April 2012.
In the realm of Evidence-based Medicine, I participate in and have conducted critical appraisals and presentations at journal clubs. Our summaries critiquing these papers are currently being published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS).
“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
