Hand & Upper Limb Surgery Fellowship
Hands-on training in hand, wrist and elbow surgery.
Training mode
You join the hand and upper limb unit as a fellow under an assigned senior consultant, one-to-one, for the full placement.
- In theatre: you scrub in on hand and upper limb lists from the start. Your role grows from exposure and closure to fixation and repair steps, as your consultant judges you ready.
- In clinic: you assess hand and upper limb patients alongside your consultant and take part in surgical planning.
- After surgery: you follow your patients through splinting and hand therapy.
- Academic: you take part in the department's case discussions.
Your actual level of involvement (observing, assisting, or performing steps under supervision) is decided by your supervising consultant, based on your previous experience, skills, competency, and overall performance.
