The Manchester Advanced Hand Fellowship

Since 2024 we have also offered a separate Advanced Hand Fellowship at Manchester Foundation Trust. This 1-2 year fellowship includes a mix of independent trauma & elective practice as well as training sessions with our consultant hand surgeons. The programme is adapted to the needs of the Fellow, and can include complex wrist (including arthroscopy), small joint arthroplasty, congenital hand and peripheral nerve surgery.

For more information on our locally-appointed Advanced Fellowship, please contact James Bedford.
