Hand Injury Service

  • The Hand Injury Service supports employees and their employers following a hand injury to coordinate the best possible and most appropriate care as quickly as possible.
  • The hands are used every day for most activities we undertake, thus why they are so frequently injured. The hand has a complex anatomy in a relatively confined space, meaning even seemingly minor cuts or injuries can injure vital structures and require specialist treatment.
  • The potential for devastating injuries increases greatly when medical attention is delayed.

  • The Hand Injury Service organises the required care for all workplace hand injuries to expedite the best possible expert trauma care.
  • We liaise with you, the hospital, the insurer and your local hand specialist surgeon as soon as possible after injury.
  • Our Specialist Hand Surgeons Dr Sean Nicklin and Dr Sarah Toleton provide expert care and complete support from the moment we receive a call following injury.
