💗 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY! 💗

Our amazing team of nurses define what it means to really care. Spending long days at the practice providing kind and compassionate care to our patients at their most vulnerable.

At HANDOC, we want to acknowledge the incredible contribution our nurses make to our practice, the challenges they face and the essential work they do, every single day.

On behalf of our surgeons, staff and patients - thank you! 🙏

Our surgeons frequently hold presentations and interactive workshops with hospital emergency department doctors, nurse practitioners and GPs to enhance their knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to assessment, diagnosis and management of patients with traumatic upper limb injuries.
