23 years experience diagnosing & treating hand & wrist disorders.
I’m Sally-Anne Phillips
BSc(Hons)., MB BS., MD., FRCS Ed(Tr&Orth)., Dip Hand Surg (Br)
A Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in treating hand and wrist conditions.
After graduating from University College London Medical school in 2001, I completed my basic surgical and orthopaedic training in South East Scotland, at the prestigious Edinburgh Orthopaedic unit. I was accepted onto the specialist orthopaedic register in 2015.
Further training
I successfully completed an international observational fellowship in Boston, USA with the internationally renowned Professor David Ring. I was then awarded the prestigious Training Interface Group fellowship in Hand surgery practising with hand specialists in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Further studies
I achieved the British Diploma in hand surgery in 2020. This certificate, awarded by the British Society for Surgery of the Hand in partnership with the University of Manchester, recognises practical knowledge and clinical excellence.
Research
I am passionate about being involved in research and medical education. I achieved my post graduate Medical Doctorate (MD) from the University of Edinburgh and have authored various papers and abstracts published in peer review journals.
Between 2019 and 2022 I served as a primary investigator for
Dupuytren’s Interventions: Surgery vs Collagenase (DISC) trail, a multi-centred study on the comparison between collagenase injections and surgical interventions.
Currently I am a contributor to the Flexor Injury Rehab Splint Trial (FIRST) trial, looking at different methods of rehabilitation after zone 2 flexor tendon repair and a Delphi study into improvement in hand therapy training.
