About

Iain has published his work in multiple peer-reviewed journals and has presented at both national and international conferences including a prize-winning podium presentation at the Wrightington Gold Medal Research day.

He has been invited as faculty on multiple regional and national courses and takes an active involvement in the teaching and training of junior doctors including the provision of the Hand Surgery teaching module for North West orthopaedic trainees.
