The hand and wrist services forms part of the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit.

We aim to achieve this by continuous evaluation of our service and involvement in clinical research.
Day surgery
Most hand surgery is done as day surgery. This means that the majority of patients will attend the ward hospital on the day of surgery have their operation and go home later that day.
The department has recognised expertise in the following areas
Should you require further information regarding specific conditions we would recommend you visit the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit or the British Society for Surgery of the Hand websites.
You will be referred to our services by either your GP or by other medical services within the hospital or from whom you have previously received treatment.
Our clinics take place on Mondays at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

Specialist hand therapists
We have a close working relationship with occupational therapists and physiotherapists. For some conditions and for some patients after having surgery, hand therapy forms a vital part of the treatment. Where required we may be able to organise specialist hand therapy and splintage on the day that you are seen in clinic.
