Andrew was appointed to Wrightington hospital in January 2020. He is a Fellowship trained Specialist Elbow and Shoulder surgeon who has joined us from Salford Royal where his Consultant practice began. He trained at both St Andrews University and the University of Manchester before completing his Specialist Orthopaedic training rotation here in the North West.
His practice specialises in surgery for all aspects of Elbow and Shoulder sports injuries, pain and instability, as well as being experienced in Trauma to the whole Upper Limb. His previous position as a Consultant at Salford Royal hospital in Manchester has allowed him to bring a breadth of experience to the WWL Team.
Andrew is passionate about providing bespoke, evidence based care for his patients. During his training he achieved a First Class Honours degree from St Andrews University for research into Medical science and more recently was awarded a Master’s degree for work on the Biomechanics of Shoulder instability from the University of Central Lancashire.
He is a keen teacher and regular faculty member on Elbow and Shoulder courses. He is also the Course Director for the Shoulder and Elbow section of the Fellowship examination course held at Wrightington triannually.
