Privileged to be welcomed in delivering an advanced learning day at Hamad Medical Corporation’s Hand Therapy Department. This group of highly experienced Occupational Therapists were in attendance from around the world, including 10 Hand Therapy Certification Commission Certified Hand Therapists. These clinicians are tasked with treating complex cases, including causalities of war. Evidently an extremely dynamic and innovative Hand Therapy Unit leading the way on the global stage.

Excited to share a study published recently in Injury - exploring a modern approach to hand extensor tendon repairs using the WALANT (Wide Awake Local Anaesthetic No Tourniquet) technique in Northern Ireland. It investigates functional outcomes, complications and patient-reported results in an outpatient setting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend Michelle highly enough. I came to her with a hand injury that I was really worried might stop me from working – I’m a working musician, so it was a real worry. From the very first session, her knowledge and thorough approach put my mind at ease. I’m now busier than I have been since 2020, and my hand is feeling great. Thanks so much, Michelle! 🎸

I had the privilege of delivering two interactive workshops at University Medical Center of El Paso: “Clinical Application of Neurodynamics for Upper Limb and Hand Entrapment Pathologies” and “Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) First Contact Rehabilitation”.

These sessions were attended by approximately 70 Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists and assistants from across the region.

As I approach a decade in the United Kingdom, and six years as a Consultant Hand Therapist within the NHS, it was a fulfilling experience to return to the institution where my journey began.

University Medical Center of El Paso, a non-profit public hospital, also serves as the sole Level 1 Trauma Center for the borderland area covering a 270-mile radius. The continual stream of helicopters is reminder of the pivotal role the organisation plays to the community.
